Chief Executive Officer

Greater Miramichi Service Commission (GMSC) • Miramichi, NB • Position Filled

Formed in 2013, The Greater Miramichi Service Commission is dedicated to planning, facilitating, and delivering services to the Greater Miramichi region. The Regional Service Delivery model stems from the Government of New Brunswick Action Plan for a New Local Governance System in New Brunswick (2011).  The region contains five local governments (one city, one village and three rural communities), a large rural district, and three First Nation communities. Though not an exhaustive list, some desired outcomes of this model include:

• Increased collaboration and service sharing amongst communities;
• Stronger and more integrated planning on regional approaches to address public service needs; and
• Reduced duplication through service delivery efficiencies.

With three distinct cultures and three linguistic communities, the Greater Miramichi Region is multicultural and proud to welcome and promote diversity within the region.
