Fundy Albert is a village municipality in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The jurisdiction was formed through the 2023 New Brunswick local governance reforms which saw the consolidation of local government entities into regions or districts.
== History ==
Fundy Albert was established on January 1, 2023 by New Brunswick regulation 2022-50, the Local Governments Establishment Regulation of the Local Governance act, through the amalgamation of the village municipalities of Alma, Riverside-Albert and Hillsborough while at the same time annexing certain mostly adjacent unincorporated areas.{{cite web | title=Local Governments Establishment Regulation – Local Governance Act | url=https://laws.gnb.ca/en/showfulldoc/cr/2022-50 | publisher=Government of New Brunswick | access-date=January 15, 2023 | date=August 30, 2022}}
