Phase 1 of a Regional Recreation Facility Feasibility Study commissioned by the Municipality of the County of Kings, Town of Kentville and Town of Wolfville is complete, and the partnering municipalities are continuing to explore the possibility of collaboratively building a multi-use recreation facility designed to address existing and forecasted service gaps in the Kings Region.

The Kings County Regional Recreational Centre Feasibility Study report was received by Councils representing the partnering municipalities in private sessions in late 2022 due to the contractual nature of matters relating to site selection. A public version of the report was recently presented to all three Councils in open session during a Joint Council meeting on March 7.

Storm clean-up ongoing.

Our Public Works crew started with snow/salting operations early yesterday morning cleaning up the accumulation that fell Wednesday into Thursday morning. By early yesterday (Thursday) afternoon the Town roads, sidewalks and parking lots were salted and clear with pavement visible.

Public works crew continued through the evening keeping up with the heavy snowfall and did an solid job maintaining the roads until they were relieved this morning, at 4am, by more staff.

Crews will continue to clear the roads, sidewalks throughout the day as parking lots were cleaned up first thing this morning and were visually inspected by the Manager of Public Works.

Roads with be completed by the priority list and with the amount of snow received, residents are asked to be patient and use CAUTION when walking or driving near snow plowing equipment and vehicles.

Due to the accumulation of snow that was delivered to us yesterday. snowbanks have significantly increased in height and width and will cause visual distractions and obstruction of views when turning corners and pulling out of driveways. Once again, please use CAUTION when making your way around Town.
