Île-de-Lamèque is a town in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It was formed through the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reforms.
Île-de-Lamèque was incorporated on January 1, 2023 via the amalgamation of the former town of Lamèque and the former village of Sainte-Marie-Saint-Raphaël as well as the concurrent annexation of adjacent unincorporated areas.[1]
Île-de-Lamèque's economy is tied to the fishing and peat industries.
The Lamèque Eco-Parc offers numerous flora and fauna features representative of the Acadian Peninsula.
