RURAL UPPER FUNDY PARTNERSHIP
Community-lead Collaboration, Communication, and Information Sharing Process
What is the
Regional Destination Development?
A first-ever community-led regional development process for the Rural Upper Bay of Fundy region is bringing people together to develop a plan that reflects the area’s unique community assets and opportunities.
The initiative covers an area that stretches from Hillsborough, Riverside Albert, Alma through Sussex, St. Martins, and the adjacent rural areas and brings together business operators, non-profit organizations, residents, and local municipal officials.
Explore the Upper Rural Fundy Region with Driftscape.

Map of Project Regions
We would like to begin by saying that the land on which we gather is the traditional unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Wabanaki People and is covered by the Covenant Chain of Sacred Peace and Friendship Treaties signed between 1725 and 1779. These treaties have been affirmed and are protected by Section 35 of the Canada Constitution. We would like to extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live, learn, and work on their territory.
