Wolfville, Nova Scotia, June 28, 2024 — Wolfville will gain more than 10 km of multi-use pathways after a combined investment of more than $3.3 million from the federal and provincial governments and the town of Wolfville.

This was announced today by MP Kody Blois, Minister John Lohr, and Mayor Wendy Donovan.

Funding will be used to develop a core active transportation network throughout the town of Wolfville. The network will include protected bike lanes, multi-use pathways, improved crossings, and connecting sidewalk segments.

The active transportation network will be designed for people of all ages and abilities. Once the project is complete, residents will be able to roll or stroll on safe, connected routes that will lead to key destinations in town and link to the provincial Blue Route cycling network.

This new infrastructure will give Wolfville residents more ways to get around the community, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce traffic congestion in the town.

Start July 2, 2024, and continuing until September 2, 2024. Bridge Rehabilitation on the Highland Avenue Overpass will begin, temporary traffic lights will be setup as traffic control, the signals will be in place all day, and scaffolding will be setup on the active side with crews being on site between 7 am to 8 pm.

Temporary speed reductions signs will be in affect, traffic will be down to one lane and delays are to be expected.

The work will include blasting and coating of the steel structure, as well as concrete repairs.

Use extreme caution when travelling through this work site as vehicles and pedestrians will be accessing community mailboxes in that area.

Do you love mud? Do you have three friends who can join you and compete like champs? Will you give it your all to raise funds to help remove barriers for kids who want to access recreational programming?

The Mud Challenge puts teams of four through a series of muddy trials with one team winning the trophy and some well earned respect.

Kids are welcome to try out the mud zone from 1:30 - 2:00pm.

With the on-going heat and lack of rain, staff are reporting an increase in odours from Wolfville's sewage treatment lagoons. 

This situation is being fully investigated and staff are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this concern.

Please note - due to weather, the parade is moving indoors at the Acadia Arena.
