Wolfville youth located deceased after flash flooding

 July 12, 2024
 Wolfville, Nova Scotia

RCMP News release

A Wolfville youth has been found deceased after flash flooding in the town and surrounding Kings County communities.

On July 11, at approximately 7:40 p.m., Kings District RCMP received a report that a youth was pulled into a water-filled ditch at a park on Highland Ave. in Wolfville and disappeared under rushing water. The youth and friends had been playing at the park when flash flooding occurred.

RCMP, together with Valley, Annapolis County, and West Hants Ground Search and Rescue teams, and the Wolfville Fire Department, quickly deployed a search for the youth. Nova Scotia Public Works and Acadia University also assisted in the search.

As a part of the search efforts, the water drainage system in the area was diverted and the youth's remains were located at approximately 11:30 p.m.

Out of respect for the youth's family, the Nova Scotia RCMP will not release the youth's name or any other personal information. Our thoughts are with the youth's family and loved ones, and the entire community.

Large bucket dumping water on a Splash Pad

As many fans of the splash pad in Willow Park know, our family-favourite play space has not yet opened for the season. We have been focused on keeping the site safe during the re-build of our Visitor Information Centre but we are now very close to getting the water flowing!

On Monday, July 15, we will get the splash bucket filled and the water cannons charged. 

Even though we have all missed the splash pad, the re-build of the Visitor Information Centre has allowed us to improve access from the parking area to the pad and we are happy to unveil two new, accessible washrooms that feature automatic doors, and more.

Updates will be provided as push through the final stages of this project and we will have the water flowing on July 15!
