Sainte-Marie-Saint-Raphaël

Sainte-Marie-Saint-Raphaël (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t maʁi sɛ̃ ʁafaɛl]; unofficially Ste-Marie-St-Raphaël) is a former village in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada.

It held village status prior to 2023 and is now part of the town of Île-de-Lamèque.

Located on Lamèque Island, the village was formed by the incorporation of most of the local service district (LSD) of St. Raphael sur-Mer and a small part of the neighbouring LSD of Haut-Lamèque.

[2] Contrary to frequent citation, it was not formed by an amalgamation involving a village named Sainte-Marie.

In May 1971, an anxious Acadian fishing population demanded a public hearing into the safety of the Marc Guylaine, and 400 people met at the Saint-Raphaël community centre where an "action group" was commissioned to study the issue.
