| Description | This large rural riding is in New Brunswick's southwest corner, bounded on the east by the U.S. and in the south by the Bay of Fundy. Part of the northern border is the Saint John River. Communities include Gagetown, Grand Bay-Westfield, St. Andrews, Cambridge-Narrows, Tracy, St. Stephen, St. George, McAdam and part of Woodstock. Deer, Campobello and Grand Manan islands are here, as is the Kingsclear reserve.
Of the 63,529 residents in this riding, slightly more than three per cent are francophone and just over four per cent are immigrants.
Manufacturing is the major industry in this riding. Also important are fishing, forestry and agriculture. The average family income is $53,276 and unemployment is 13.7 per cent.
The St. Croix-Belleisle riding was formed in 2004 by taking 90 per cent of Charlotte-New Brunswick Southwest and adding in 11 per cent of Fundy-Royal. Charlotte-New Brunswick Southwest had been created in 1996, with the majority of its residents coming from the old Carleton-Charlotte riding.
Population: 63,529
NOTE: Known as St. Croix-Belleisle throughout the 2004 election, this riding's name was changed to New Brunswick Southwest directly afterwards. The new name is said to be a more accurate reflection of the area. |
