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.

Kentville’s water systems are overseen by an advisory group that helps to keep the water resources clean and protected. Members include the mayor and three councillors, a representative from the County of Kings and the Kentville Fire Department, and a citizen appointment.

Start your weekend with a Lion's BIG BREAKFAST. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, baked beans, toast, juice, tea & coffee. Roar like a Lion with a good breakfast in your tummy!

The Kentville Lions support the community through fundraising to help out families and individuals through difficult times. Our mission is to care for those in need in our community and around the world.
