About Île-de-Lamèque

Shippegan (incorrectly Shippagan from the French colloquial spelling) is a geographic parish in Gloucester County, New Brunswick, Canada. Located in the northeastern corner of the province at the end of the Acadian Peninsula, the parish consists of the three main islands of Taylor, Lamèque, and Miscou, along with

Extensive wetlands lead to a peat moss industry; more recently Spanish multinational Acciona has built a wind farm operation on Lamèque Island. Kiteboarding has been a successful tourist attraction. For governance purposes, the parish is divided between the towns of Île-de-Lamèque and Shippagan and the Acadian Peninsula rural district, corresponding to the three main islands and the small islands near them; all three are members of the Acadian Peninsula Regional Service Commission. Prior to the 2023 governance reform, Shippegan had more governance divisions than any other parish in the province, with two towns, two villages, and fourteen local service districts (LSDs), one of which had a named area with enhanced services.
