Welcome to the Miramichi. These pages link to the very best our region has to offer: natural attraction, advanced manufactoring, creative technologies, green energy and growing markets. Our commitment to our bountiful natural resources and brilliant future shines through everything we do. Spirit and success—it's just in our nature.

The Miramichi is well-positioned to be the hub of New Brunswick's green collar economy — green energy, creative technologies, natural attraction (ecotourism) and advanced manufacturing. The region is plentiful in naturally-occurring fuel sources including water flows, solar and wind.
