Welcome NSCC Students!

Whether this is your first year at NSCC Kingstec or you are a returning student, welcome. Much like the college you have chosen, Kentville has a great deal to offer in terms of recreation, fitness, spiritual, retail, banking, and health and wellness services.

The Town of Kentville offers a full slate of recreational and fitness opportunities. Drop in to Town Hall and the Recreation Department or check out our website at kentville.ca for a full schedule of events or equipment available for loan. The town will be hosting one of the Canada Cup Mountain Bike races at the Gorge this fall, a not-to-miss event for mountain biking enthusiasts. A walk at Miner’s Marsh, a Ducks Unlimited trail, can provide the solace and inspiration needed when your brain is in overdrive from studying.  The ravine at the Agricultural Research Station is the perfect four-season getaway. Loaner snowshoes are available at the Recreation Department all winter. The rail trail that winds through town is a small section of the Blue Moon Trail. The Blue Moon Trail is 117 kilometre trail that covers the Valley from Grand Pre to Annapolis Royal.

Visit one of the many locally owned and operated downtown shops, stop in to chat and learn what it means to be an entrepreneur in a small town. Our pubs and cafes are second to none and will soon become your favourites. Each has its own special menu and selection to tantalize the taste buds.

The Town is serviced by Kings Transit, a public transit service that operates from Weymouth to Wolfville. All buses are WIFI enabled and offer an economical way of travelling throughout the Valley, check out their website at kingstransit.ns.ca.

If you are interested in volunteering, the Kings Volunteer Resource Centre can help you to find the perfect match. Kentville has a very active Rotary Club and many service clubs that may offer an opportunity to network and connect with folks in your chosen field.

Congratulations on choosing NSCC Kingstec, you are beginning an amazing opportunity for a great education and perhaps a chosen career. I cannot fully express how pleased we are to have you become part of our citizenship while you are here. Study, apply yourself, and enjoy your time getting to know Kentville a little bit better. On behalf of the town council, staff and citizens, welcome to Kentville! Let us be your home away from home and your breath of fresh air.

Sandra Snow, Mayor of Kentville
