The Mayor is the head of the Town Council and along with eight Council members sets various policy directions for Town administration to implement.
The Mayor acts as the liaison between the CAO and Council and works very closely with the economic development and tourism staff and agencies to promote Oromocto as a great place to locate a business, visit and to live. The Mayor supports and attends many community and charitable events and is more than willing to represent the Town to bring greetings.
Mayor's Message - Robert (Bob) Powell
I welcome you to discover and explore our community. Oromocto is known as “CANADA’S MODEL TOWN”, a progressive and prosperous community developed around Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, one of the largest military training bases in the Commonwealth.
Oromocto is also known as a community that is deeply rooted in a very diverse culture and heritage. We are nestled along the Oromocto and Saint John Rivers with a population of around 9,000. These pristine waterways are among the finest in North America and offer many recreational opportunities for our residents and visitors alike.
Located on the Trans Canada Highway, we are a convenient stop for a day, week or a lifetime. ALL are welcome to discover and enjoy what we've always known, there is no place like our beautiful Town!
