Because provincial media is behind a paywall I can't seem to find any information on this amalgamation. What communities exactly are looking at amalgamating with Tracadie-Sheila? South to Brantville? West to Saint-Isidore? North to Six Roads?

theshark is right in saying that this doesn't really change much in terms of drawing new business into the area. It looks a lot better when communities are brought together and you can put forward population numbers like 16K or whatever, but at the end of the day the regional population is still the exact same, just in a neater fashion.
