School helps boost Shediac’s 2025 building permits

Last year was one of growth for the town of Shediac, with more than $111 million worth of building permits.

There was a big boost in the commercial and institutional sector, reaching $66 million, primarily due to the planned construction of a new English-language K to 12 school.

The school will be located near Highway 15 and Ohio Road, leading to the entrance of Parlee
Beach Provincial Park.

“This major project will have a significant economic impact on this part of the town,”Director of Economic Development and Tourism Danny Pellerin says.

The building permit for the new school alone, valued at $61,939,387, represents more than half of the total value of building permits issued in 2025.

The residential sector remained steady, with 152 permits valued at $18 million, and multi-family construction reached $27 million.

“Shediac is experiencing sustained growth while ensuring well-planned, responsible, and
balanced development for the benefit of the entire population,” said Shediac Mayor
Roger Caissie.

He has already stated he will not be seeking re-election this spring in the municipal elections.

“It will now be up to the next members of the municipal council to continue this momentum, while remaining true to the values that make Shediac one of the best places to live, work, and do business,” Caissie stated.
