Saint-Jacques is a geographic parish in Madawaska County, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish consists of two discontiguous portions separated by Saint-Joseph Parish.[5]
For governance purposes the southwestern portion is divided between the city of Edmundston,[6] which includes the tier of grants on either side of the Madawaska River, and the Northwest rural district;[7] the northeastern portion is part of the rural district. Both city and rural district are members of the Northwest Regional Service Commission.[8]
Before the 2023 governance reform, the parish was divided between Edmundston and the local service district of the parish of Saint-Jacques,[9] part of which was annexed by Edmundston in the reform.
