Grimmer Parish, New Brunswick

Grimmer is a Canadian parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick. Most of the parish was administered as the local service district of the parish of Grimmer until 2012, when it amalgamated with the village of Kedgwick to form the rural community of Kedgwick; a small area along Route 17 on the border with Eldon Parish remains part of the local service district of White's Brook. The civil parish continues to exist, as the Interpretation Act states that parishes include all municipalities within their boundaries.[2]
