The Town of Wolfville and the Wolfville Farmers’ Market are seeking the services of a food service professional/Soup wizard to help with the re-launch of the Soups and Sides project.

Soups and Sides is a weekly drop-in that welcomes community members to the Wolfville Farmers’ Market for soup and activities on Monday evenings. Guests are welcome to make a voluntary donation to support the sustainability of the program, but this is not a requirement.

The program was developed by Acadia students and is supported by the Town, Acadia University and the Wolfville Farmers’ Market to help people build relationships while enjoying equitable access to delicious food.

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.
