New Brunswick now has three municipalities under the control of unelected supervisors until next spring’s elections.
Miramichi River Valley — an amalgamated community that includes Blackville, Renous and Sunny Corner — is the latest to see its elected government dissolved.
A statement posted Thursday morning by the Local Governance Commission of New Brunswick said the municipality lost its quorum because of resignations.
“This means that the council is no longer able to govern and direct the operations of the rural community,” the statement said.
All three supervised municipalities, Miramichi River Valley, Sunbury-York South and Strait Shores, are amalgamated communities that did not exist before 2023.
No details have been made available to the public about why the council in Miramichi River Valley fell apart.
