In June 2025, with the assistance of Jacques Dubé and Town staff, Council workshopped a renewed Strategic Plan to establish priorities and to guide the Town's actions through 2029.

This plan was informed by what was heard during the 2024 municipal election campaign, through ongoing community feedback and by discussions around the Council table.

As Mayor of Wolfville, Jodi MacKay was happy to see the Strategic Plan approved by Council on October 21.

"Council is excited to share our new Strategic Plan that represents Wolfville’s shared vision for the future — a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community where everyone feels at home," MacKay said. "It builds on our Town’s deep sense of connection and creativity while charting a clear path into the future that reflects our values. Together, Council and staff are strengthening the foundation for a thriving Wolfville."

Now that Council has set the strategic direction, they will work with the support of Town staff to make informed decisions on budgets, plans, bylaws, and policies that will shape Wolfville today and into the future.

Chief Administrative Officer Glenn Horne sees this as an important milestone for Council and Staff at the Town.

"The 2025-29 Strategic Plan creates a clear vision for Wolfville," Horne said. "I am excited to work with Council and staff to bring these priorities to life."

The Strategic Plan notes that Council decisions are strengthened by staff research, recommendations and by community ideas and insights. The Strategic Plan also reaffirms a commitment to ongoing communication and collaboration through community interactions, public discussions and listening sessions.

The section of Harvest Moon Trail that runs through Wolfville’s downtown is being re-built to provide a safer, visually pleasing, linear parkway for those who wish to roll and stroll through Town.

Starting on November 4, work includes a new 3-metre-wide concrete parkway that will run from the West end of the Wolfville Farmers’ Market to the intersection of Front and Harbourside Drive.

The remaining greenspace will be cleaned-up, levelled and landscaped and the original railway tracks will be topped with crusher dust, to provide another surface for folks moving through Town.

The trail work happening beside the Wolfville Farmers’ Market will include brush clearing. Seating and lighting will also be added as the project progresses.

Trail crossings at Elm and Harbourside will be better defined and well marked, increasing safety for both trail users and motorists. The sidewalk at Harbourside will also be connected to the existing sidewalk on Front Street.

The improvements in this corridor are intended to connect to the Main Street bike lanes, at the Recreation Hub, at 282 Main Street, at the East end of Waterfront Park. To the West, the trail will also re-connect with Main Street.

This new parkway will provide more space for people to safely share the trail and enjoy the Town’s active transportation network, which is being built to support safer rolling and strolling throughout our community.

Trail Closure Notice

Trail users are advised that construction work will begin on the Oak Avenue Trail and Bridge.
During this time, the trail will be closed from the Oak Avenue Extension to the Harvest Moon Trail.

Work is scheduled to commence on Thursday, October 30, 2025, weather permitting. The project is expected to take two to three days to complete.

Please plan your route accordingly and use alternate trails where possible.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
