Council

Kentville residents elect six councillors and a 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.  During council meetings on the Last Monday 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 Live.  All council meetings and council meeting highlights are available on the town's YouTube channel (see Helpful Links).  

The next municipal election will be held in October 2028.    

To reach out to the Council and Mayor, or to share a concern/opportunity/success with Council, you have several options: 

1. You can email them all using the group email councilandmayor@kentville.ca

2. You can call or email them individually, their contact information is their webpage.

3. You can write a letter addressed to Mayor and Council, and send it to or leave it at Town Hall (354 Main Street), or you can attach it to an email.  Letters to Council can be added to the next meeting of Council, and they will become part of the public record.  These letters must be delivered to Council or to the Deputy Clerk (jwest@kentville.ca) at least 5 days before a Council or CAC meeting (usually a Wednesday, at 4pm).

4. You can reach out and book a meeting with the Mayor or a council member, to chat in person about your idea/concern/success.

5. Lastly, you can come to a Council or CAC meeting!  We would love to see you - and you can speak during the Public Comments part of the meeting, near the end of the agenda.
