Wolfville’s 2026/27 Operational Plan and accompanying budgets focus on challenges and opportunities with a variety of initiatives, such as improving street safety with a particular focus on Main Street, fostering volunteerism, enhancing communication, improving mobility, improving recreational opportunities, investing in infrastructure, and developing the Town’s capacity to meet the community’s evolving needs.

This Plan is the Town's map and guide to the year ahead. Please take the time to review this piece of work to get a sense of what we will be working on to support the Wolfville community.

The Town of Wolfville Public Works team will be completing a sewer repair at the intersection of Gaspereau Avenue and Acadia Street beginning April 20, 2026.

Work will continue until the repair is completed. During this time, traffic in the area will be reduced to single-lane, stop-and-go traffic, with flaggers on site to assist.

Please expect delays, use caution when travelling through the area and use alternate routes when possible. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this necessary work.

Greg and Gaëtane Archibald are Wolfville's Volunteers of the Year. Mayor Jodi MacKay announced the win at the Town's celebration of volunteers that was hosted at the Wolfville Farmers' Market on April 19. 

Kicking-off National Volunteer Week, Mayor MacKay expressed thanks, on behalf of Council, for the countless hours and incredible efforts made by the volunteer community in Wolfville.

There were 13 nominees for Wolfville's Volunteer of the Year and each nominee has made Wolfville a better place to live, work, study and play.

2026 award winners Gaëtane and Greg manage of Valley After The Bell, a food security charity that provides food to school children on weekends. Greg also serves as the group’s accountant. 

Valley After the Bell supports over 200 children at 15 schools throughout Kings and Hants Counties, trying to fill the gap for children who may be served by school breakfast and lunch programs, but come to school hungry on Monday mornings. 

The program was started a number of years ago, but Greg and Gaëtane became managers when the Valley branch moved to the County Fair Mall two years ago. Their work is essential to the success of this operation.

In addition to coordinating the activities of over twenty volunteers, Greg and Gaëtane work to find the best prices for bulk purchases of food; travel to wherever they need to to get the best bargains; transport the food to the shelves in the space provided in County Fair Mall; help oversee the assembly line of volunteers for each week’s output of food packages; coordinate the distribution of food bags to the individual schools; organize special fundraisers and other events, including outreach to potential donors; and take shifts in the store on a regular basis, as well as filling in for sick or absent volunteers. 

They do all this work without any financial compensation, each putting in well over thirty hours per week of their time. Put simply, they are the heart and soul of Valley After The Bell.

Greg and Gaëtane Archibald were nominated by Judy Swift.

Residents and motorists are advised that stop-and-go traffic will be in place tomorrow, April 17, 2026, on Main Street between Earnscliffe Avenue and Westwood.

Work will begin at 5:00 a.m. and continue until repairs are complete. This traffic control is required to accommodate a water repair in the area.

Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes where possible. The Town thanks residents for their patience and cooperation while this essential work is carried out.

The naming of municipal assets, including parks, streets and buildings, is a way to showcase history, heroes, and community values. 

With a new Municipal Asset Naming Policy in place, the Town of Wolfville is seeking suggestions for future consideration to help name and rename assets with a clear purpose: to provide a consistent and efficient process when naming or renaming municipal assets and for the Town to use asset naming as a means of redress (to fix and make amends) and reconciliation.

Please visit our new Municipal Asset Naming and Renaming page to review all the details and then make your submission.

If you require accommodation to participate in this process, please reach out to Barb Shaw at 902-679-9124.
