Mayor's Message

It is with pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the official website of the Municipality of Shippagan.
Nestled in the heart of Chaleur Bay, in northeastern New Brunswick, our municipality is a welcoming, vibrant place, resolutely focused on the future. Since the local governance reform, our territory has been enriched by sectors that contribute to the diversity and vitality of our community: Inkerman, Baie-du-Petit-Pokemouche, Le Goulet, Pointe-Sauvage, downtown Shippagan, Pointe-Brûlé, and Haut-Shippagan.

Our municipality stands out for its exceptional quality of life, strong cultural identity, and deep commitment to innovation, inclusion, and sustainable development.

I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful municipality,

Kassim Doumbia
