Dalhousie is a geographic parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick, Canada.[4]

For governance purposes it is divided between the city of Campbellton, the town of Heron Bay, the village of Bois-Joli,[5] and the Eel River 3 and Indian Ranch Indian reserves; the municipalities are all members of the Restigouche Regional Service Commission.[6]

Prior to the 2023 governance reform, the parish also included parts of the town of Dalhousie, the villages of Atholville, Charlo and Eel River Crossing, and the local service districts of Dalhouse Junction, McLeods, Point La Nim, and the parish of Dalhousie,[7] which had been reduced to scattered pieces by the creation and growth of other LSDs and municipalities. The reform merged Atholville with Campbellton, Eel River Crossing with Balmoral to form Bois-Joli, and Dalhouse with Charlo to form Heron Bay. Campbellton also annexed most of McLeods and the portion of the parish LSD west of Eel River Crossing; Bois-Joli took the remainder of McLeods and a part of the parish LSD on its northern boundary, using the railway as its new boundary; and Heron Bay annexed Dalhousie Junction, Point La Nim, and the remainder of the parish LSD.[5]
