Climate Change in Kentville: Planning for Kentville’s Future
Across Kentville, people are noticing changes. Heavier rainfall. Hotter summer days. Ice storms. Flooding. Unpredictable winters.
These changes can affect our homes, streets, parks, businesses, and daily lives in different ways across the community. The Town of Kentville is working on a Climate Risk Assessment and Climate Action Plan — and your experience can help shape the decisions we make for the future.

To prepare for future risks, the Town is developing a Climate Risk Assessment and Climate Action Plan to better understand:

- Long-term planning and investments
