Renous-Quarryville

Renous-Quarryville (2010 population: 1000+) is a Canadian local service district in Northumberland County, New Brunswick. It is located 25mi upstream of Miramichi, where the Renous River discharges into the Southwest Miramichi River.

Probably named for a Micmac chief, Sock Renou.[1]

Renous-Quarryville is 5 kilometres east of Blackville where the majority of students attend school.

The community is the site of the Atlantic Institution, a Correctional Service of Canada maximum-security prison located on the site of a former Canadian Forces ammunition depot.[2]

On March 30, 2019, the Tom Donovan Arena in Renous was named 2019 winner of the Kraft Hockeyville national contest, with a $250,000 prize for arena upgrades and an NHL pre-season game to be played in the area on September 18th, 2019. On that date, the Montreal Canadiens faced the Florida Panthers.[3]
