A Message From Our MayorWelcome to the Village of Chipman, located on the banks of the Salmon River, and at the head of Grand Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Maritime Provinces.Chipman maintains a peaceful, rural setting while offering yearround recreation, community events, and easy access to all needed services.Historically, Chipman's industrial base was grounded in forestry, coal and brick. The tradition continues with the ultramodern facilities of J.D. Irving Woodlands Ltd. and Grand Lake Timber Ltd, which process much of the abundant local timber, which is still the main focus of the area's economy.Chipman is centrally located, a hub to the major cities of Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John and Miramichi.But what makes it really special is its fine people and outstanding community spirit.On behalf of myself and the Chipman Village Council, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our official website.
