Centreville, New Brunswick

Centreville

Centreville is a village in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada. As of 2006 the population was 523.

Centreville is one of several communities within Carleton County that participate in the annual Potato Break. Potato Break is a 2 & 1/2 week break from school around harvest time (mid-September through early October) that allows students the opportunity to help with the potato harvest, although working on the break is not mandatory. Schools that participate in Potato Break begin classes in early August to compensate for the time taken off for Potato Break. This affects feeder schools for Carleton North High School in Bristol-Florenceville. Many of the other schools in the area are unable to partake in Potato Break because of one simple reason, lack of potatoes. These schools start school after Labour Day. The need for Potato Break is currently under review by the DEC and school District 14. For many years now, mechanisation in the fields has vastly reduced the need for student labour.

Centreville is also the host of annual Tractor Pulls. Alongside potatoes, it's probably what the village is best known for.
