Campbellton in brief

Campbellton now answers to Campbellton Regional Community, and that name is not stationery fluff. The municipality folds in the former towns of Atholville and Tide Head plus McLeods and Glencoe, then maps council work across Areas: Tide Head to Glencoe, Atholville to St-Arthur, Val D'Amours, and Campbellton to McLeods. City Hall still sits on Water Street, while the Memorial Regional Civic Centre is where the new council took its oath. People here still say Campbellton in conversation; the regional label is how the paperwork keeps the sectors in one room.

Geography stays blunt in the municipal about line: Chaleur Bay at the mouth of the Restigouche River, north tip of New Brunswick, Restigouche County. That river-and-bay framing is what separates Campbellton from inland mill towns and from Bathurst farther down the same bay. Notre Dame St. has been the named corridor for water and sewer work tied to housing funding, the sort of street project that shows up when apartments and hydrants share a press release. Housing Accelerator talk and CHIF infrastructure dollars are the current civic growth file.

Culture leans Acadian without needing a tourist brochure. Les Éloizes, the Atlantic Acadian arts awards, are booked for Campbellton in May 2026, a hosting win the Regional Community announced with open pride. Everyday landmarks stay practical: Salle de quilles Gerard Bertin and Alma Hall on the municipal menu, Campbellton Regional Hospital as the health-care name locals already know, Polyvalente Roland-Pépin as the school shorthand in community bios. Campbellton is Restigouche-mouth geography, sector politics after reform, and an Éloizes year on the calendar.

Connectivity · OpenStats

OpenStats Broadband Download Speeds

OpenStats

Cities ranked by estimated best advertised download (Mbps). Anchored to the current ISED National Broadband Data vintage, then backcast along a national speed curve with city-specific fiber-arrival and 50/10 availability paths so relative ranks can change over the decade. Not a claim of audited historical hex maps for every year.

OpenStats Building Permit Value

OpenStats

Cities ranked by calendar-year building permit value. Direct rows sum Statistics Canada Table 34-10-0292-01. Cities without a direct reading use population × provincial per-capita permit intensity (estimated), so every seed city has a year-varying construction signal.

OpenStats City Score

OpenStats

Dimensional average of OpenStats open-data pillars for each panel year 2016–2025: tax, construction, connectivity, indoor air, water, seismic hazard, population growth, and crime severity. Each series is scored 0–1 within its edition; series in the same pillar are averaged, then all eight pillars are averaged with equal weight. Missing pillars score at median standing (0.5). Growth and CSI use StatCan annual tables; permits, mill rates, and broadband use live rows plus documented year-varying estimates where needed. Radon, water, and PGA may be survey/model vintages carried forward and are flagged when static for more than two years. External commercial livability lists are never inputs.
