Committees

As a regional service provider, the Fundy Regional Service Commission follows the Regional Service Delivery Act and is managed by a board of directors consisting of the Mayor or Deputy Mayor of the six local governments, and the Chair of the rural district in the Fundy Region: Fundy St. Martins, Hampton, Grand Bay-Westfield, Saint John, Quispamsis, Rothesay and the Fundy Rural District.

Under the Local Governance Reform, the Commission is tasked with providing leadership in each of the new mandated services.  The Committees formed around each mandate will provide guidance and recommendations to the board and inform the 5-year Regional Strategy. The new mandates will provide an opportunity for collaboration across the region while avoiding duplication.  

Community Development Committee

We will empower communities, foster inclusivity and guide equitable access to programs and services.  Through collaborative regional community development initiatives, we will seek to improve the health and well-being of our residents.  We will advocate for social inclusion and an inclusive approach to housing.  We will foster diversity and promote the successful settlement of newcomers.  

In the first year, members will define the scope, focus and structure of the committee through engagement with community partners, asset mapping and a needs assessment.
