Addington is a geographic parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]
For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Campbellton[5] and the Restigouche rural district,[6] both of which are members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[7]
Before the 2023 governance reform, the northern part of the parish was heavily divided, with (moving upriver from the eastern parish line) the city of Campbellton, the village of Atholville, the village of Tide Head and the local service district of Flatlands, which straddled the western parish line; the (LSD) of Glencoe was inland of Tide Head and Flatlands, along Route 17 and Route 275, with Atholville extending inland around the loop of Route 275; the remainder of the parish's mainland formed the LSD of the parish of Addington. The islands in the Restigouche River were divided between Flatlands and Tide Head, though the boundary the village claimed differed from those recognised by the Regional Service Commission's map of Flatlands.[8] The 2023 reform amalgamated Addington and Tide Head with Campbellton, annexing Glencoe with two parts of the LSD of the parish of Addington on either side of Walker Road, allowing a smoother boundary, while the boundary between the river islands was settled;[5] Flatlands and the remainder of the parish LSD became part of the rural district.[6]
