As part of the Local Governance Reform in New Brunswick, the RSCs were bestowed new regional mandates::

• Local Land use planning
• Solid Waste Management
• Regional Tourism Promotion
• Economic Development

• Cost sharing of regional Infrastructure

REGIONAL VOICE:  Within its mandate of acting as a regional forum for collaboration among communities on regional issues, the Restigouche RSC intervenes on behalf of the region on issues where there is consensus.
