Partnering with government initiatives to foster growth in Miramichi

The government of New Brunswick has created a comprehensive population growth strategy for the next five years. This plan, which is based on consultation from local stakeholders, aims to attract and retain residents in order to meet growing labour market needs as New Brunswick’s population ages.

The City of Miramichi is onboard with the government’s action plan for fostering growth through immigration, domestic recruitment, secondary migration, and creating a welcoming community that encourages young New Brunswick to remain in the province.
