Inkerman is a civil parish[a] in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada. For governance purposes it is divided between the Regional Municipality of Tracadie, the Pokemouche 13 Indian reserve, and the local service districts of Evangéline, Inkerman Centre, Landry Office, Maltempec,[b] and Pokemouche.

The local service district of the same name, which included only part of the parish, was incorporated into the Regional Municipality of Grand Tracadie–Sheila on July 1, 2014,[2] causing some misunderstanding of its status.

The parish is named after the Battle of Inkerman in the Crimean War.[3]

Delineation

Inkerman Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[4] as being bounded:

North by Caraquet Parish; southeasterly by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and westerly by Saumarez Parish, Saint Isidore Parish, and Pacquetville Parish.

A significant portion of Inkerman Parish (approximately 43.7% of its land area) was incorporated into the Regional Municipality of Tracadie in 2014.[5]

Notes

  1. ^ Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; parishes continue to provide convenient boundaries for federal and provincial electoral districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
  2. ^ The community within the LSD is spelt Maltampec.
