Victoria County
(Population Change)
The population is beginning to decline as falling
births and rising deaths have resulted in a small
natural population increase. This increase no
longer offsets continued net out-migration to
other parts of N.B. and Canada.

Number of Establishments by Size, 2001
Source Statistics Canada, Business Register, 2001
An establishment operating in more than one
province is classed to a size according to its
employment total for Canada, not for an area in a
specific province. Thus the establishment classed
as 500 in this chart really means there is an
establishment operating in this region of New
Brunswick whose Canadian employment is 500 even
if it may employ fewer than 500 in this
Enterprise region.

Social Assistance
Social Assistance The Department of Family and
Community Services (FCS) has eight regional
offices. Social assistance information is
collected and maintained with respect to these
regions. The Enterprise Grand Falls Region falls
within the region serviced by the Northwest FCS
regional office (Edmundston). Due to the fact
that this region includes a highly populated
urban center with higher case loads, the
information from this FCS region is not relevant
to the mostly rural Enterprise Grand Falls Region
and therefore no data on Social Assistance
recipients is presented in this report.
The Northwest FCS region is composed mainly of
the counties of Carleton, Victoria and Madawaska.
33
