The downtown Wolfville section of the Harvest Moon Trail that runs between Elm and Harbourside will be closed from Friday, November 28 through Wednesday, December 3.

This closure provides time and space to pour the new concrete trail as well as the time required for the concrete to cure. 

Trail users are asked to please detour along Front Street for the duration of the closure.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

After months of study, community engagement and a pilot in Reservoir Park, Wolfville's Council has supported a time of day, seasonal approach to the off leash privilege in Wolfville's most popular park.

In accordance with Section 4 of Wolfville's Dog Control By-law, between October 1 and May 31, dogs must remain on leash from 10am to 4pm.

Between June 1 and September 30, dogs much remain on leash from 10am to 7pm.

These new off leash hours are intended to provide safe and enjoyable use of the park for all people.

Signs posted in Reservoir Park communicate these new changes.

The Town is in the process of selecting an external auditor to provide services for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030.

Advisory Committee Vacancies

Advisory Committees play a key role in local governance. Each committee focuses on a specific mandate, engaging in discussions, sharing information, and making recommendations to Town Council. Meetings are conducted in a formal setting, led by a chairperson and supported by Town staff, with all committees operating in accordance with the Municipal Government Act and Town Policy.

Committee members work on behalf of the community to review information, collaborate with fellow members, and build consensus to provide well-informed recommendations to Council. Members are regularly asked to review background materials ahead of meetings, including agendas, reports, documents, and correspondence that will be discussed.
