Message from the Mayor
Welcome to the website of the Town of Shippagan
Located on the northeastern tip of the Acadian Peninsula in northeastern New Brunswick, Shippagan is a town shaped by the sea, known as the capital of commercial fishing and as a university town. Our innovative municipality has within its territory one of three campuses of the University of Moncton., The headquarters of the Community College New Brunswick, the Acadian Peninsula campus and the Centre for Research on coastal areas. In Shippagan, a person can begin their educations from kindergarten to the University of the Third Age.

This touristism icon houses all marine species found in Chaleur Bay, including the famous blue lobster and the baby seal baby recently named D'Amour in honor of the passage of the great actor Sir Normand D'Amour, during the filming of the television show "La Petite Seduction".
Visitors can also go to the municipal campground located in Haut-Shippagan. There are several other water activities and that can be practiced as a family.
In Shippagan, you can also walk along our coastline on a path of 2 km. The shoreline trail offers magnificent views of the Bay of Chaleur. It contains indeed rest areas where you can gather.
In summer, our community pays tribute to fishermen and fish farmers through the Festival of Fisheries and Aquaculture of New Brunswick in Shippagan. Each year, the festival starts on the second Saturday of July, and has been for over 51 years.
In winter, our municipality is hosting the Carnival of the ice, the people here and elsewhere can join us to celebrate the winter.
Members of the City Council of the Town of Shippagan join me in thanking the residents of the municipality for their confidence. We will do our best to ensure effective governance and to ensure that our community is growing healthy. Of an innate sense of communication, cooperation, collaboration and a need for consensus, together we will develop a strategic plan tailored to the needs of today.
