The Canadian province of New Brunswick contained 236 local service districts prior to governance reforms in 2023;[1] another 80 former LSDs were previously dissolved or incorporated.
[2][3] Provincial government guidelines required capitalising the word parish only if it followed the specific part of the name: e.g. Flatlands Local Service District but the local service district of Flatlands.
Maps were not finalised until the appropriate Regulation is released; there were differences between maps released in March[5] and the original boundary proposals.
Because property and survey lines were the basis for the new boundaries, small adjustments were too common to list.
Names for the new municipal entities and rural districts were released on 24 May 2022.
