Notes
  1. Civil parishes served a variety of government functions until 1966, when the new Municipalities Act stripped them of their responsibilities; they continue to provide convenient boundaries for government uses, especially electoral districts and local service districts. Statistics Canada uses civil parishes as census subdivisions for all parts of the province that are not within municipalities and similar entities.
  2. New Bandon Parish's LSD is named New Bandon Outside,[2] there formerly being other taxing authorities within the LSD.
  3. The 1973 Territorial Division Act misspells the name New Brandon Parish; the name is spelt correctly in other modern government sources and in earlier versions of the Act.
  4. Southwest Caraquet River, now officially the Rivière Caraquet; the former Northwest Caraquet River is now Rivière du Nord.
