Statistics Canada lists Perth as a parish. In New Brunswick, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Perth’s mayor isn’t named. No provincial riding is named for Perth, as no open boundary file exists for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick that we could find. Across New Brunswick, 6 of the 10 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Perth, a parish in New Brunswick, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
legnb.ca ↗Passports, pensions, EI, defence, immigration.
ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask

Some services are planned regionally: Perth belongs to one of New Brunswick’s 12 regional service commissions.

electionsnb.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
