Fundy-River Valley (electoral district)

Fundy-River Valley was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was established in the 1994 redistribution as Grand Bay-Westfield and, though its boundaries were not changed much in 2006, it was decided to change its name to Fundy-River Valley to better reflect that it includes much more than the town of Grand Bay-Westfield but the Maces Bay area on the Fundy Shore as well as the river valley up to Evandale and Welsford.
