Kentville residents elect six councillors and the mayor every four years during municipal elections. This team meets each month during the Council Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting with directors to understand town operations, and to receive recommendations from staff. At the end of each month, council considers these and other recommendations and makes decisions in the best interest of the town.

Both the CAC and council meetings are open to the public, either live at Town Hall or online using YouTube.

All council meetings are available on the town's YouTube channel.

Every Wednesday night a gifted group of local musicians and their supporters gather to play, sing and enjoy the music. Enjoy the comfort of the Hall where it is cool or warm, and dry when you need it to be. Clean washrooms available!

Please bring a snack to share with everyone.

A good time is had!
