Greetings from Mayor David L. Corkum
On behalf of the Town Council and citizens of Kentville, I am pleased to welcome
you to our Web Site.
Kentville is known as “The Centre of the Annapolis Valley,” as it is not only
geographically centered in the valley, but throughout history, it has been a
gathering place for all surrounding communities. Today it remains a service centre
for professional businesses and institutions.
Several first-class baseball and soccer fields, along with swimming pools, tennis
courts, basketball courts, and a quarter mile track comprise the Memorial Park
Complex. In addition, the newly constructed Valley Sports and Multipurpose
Facility, offers indoor activities throughout the year. With this infrastructure, we
have been able to host an impressive number of Provincial and National
Championships.
The town also hosts several special events, the most notable being those associated
with the areas agricultural industry – the annual Apple Blossom Festival (in late
May) and the Harvest Festival (in October). Our famous “Pumpkin People” appear
throughout town during the
fall, and gather in groups as they celebrate the Valley’s harvest.
Although the town has always enjoyed a steady, progressive growth, Kentville now
stands on the brink of unprecedented development in both the residential and
commercial sectors. With a world class university, a large and modern community
college, and state-of-the-art high schools on the town’s perimeters, Kentville can
provide exceptional educational programs. A regional hospital and a large shopping
mall also hug the town’s boundaries, and our new $4 million well system provides
safe water in good supply. These and other amenities ensure that Kentville is
positioned to accommodate future growth and prosperity while maintaining an
excellent quality-of-life.
Visitors can learn of our many attractions, by contacting the helpful staff of the
Kentville Town Hall or at the Kentville Tourist Bureau.
Yours Truly,
David Corkum, Mayor
