The Local Government Reform Process has moved to the next stage. The Government has released a Green Paper called Working Together for Vibrant and Sustainable Communities.
A green paper is a document that explains the issues that need to be addressed and
provides options to address them. This green paper is designed to encourage public
discussion. Members of the public and stakeholders are encouraged to share their
views and ideas on the opportunities presented.
This green paper outlines the challenges that communities face across the province.
For more information on the history of local governance and previous studies and
reports, visit gnb.ca/vibrantNB.
A green paper is not government policy. The feedback received through the
engagement process will be thoroughly reviewed and will help inform the release of
a white paper by the end of 2021. This is an opportunity to help shape the direction
of the province and its communities. The white paper will outline the policy changes,
designed in part by working committees, that the government plans to make to
strengthen the local governance system.
