NB - Essential Municipal Councillor Guide

Your practical Reference for Legislation, Responsibility and Community Leadership.

What's inside

  • This Guide is grounded in the Local Governance Act, SNB 2017, c.18, New Brunswick's primary statute governing local governments, and it walks you through the legal framework of your role: your powers, your obligations, your potential risks, and the boundaries within which good governance happens. Think of it as your legislative foundation — the baseline every councillor should have.
