Grimmer is a Canadian parish in Restigouche County, New Brunswick. Most of the parish formed a local service district until 2012, when it amalgamated with the village of Kedgwick to form the rural community of Kedgwick; a small area on the border with Eldon Parish remains part of the local service district of White's Brook. The civil parish continues to exist, as the Interpretation Act states that parishes include all municipalities within their boundaries.^[2]
