The Town of Wolfville is a classic college town, home to the beautiful campus of Acadia University. Stately homes line the streets. Downtown is a mix of shops, restaurants, service businesses, and a library. Parks and trails provide recreational facilities and space to hike. The University offers recreation facilities for the community.

Only an hour's drive from Halifax and Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Wolfville is a self-sufficient community of about 4,200 residents. It is surrounded by dykelands built by the Acadians in the 1600s, plus family farms, orchards, and scenic vistas. A 20-minute drive in almost any direction will bring you to one of the area's wineries. Or hop on the Magic Winery Bus for a tour of five local wineries in a traditional British double-decker bus.

We acknowledge that we are in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People.  This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) People first signed with the British Crown in 1725.  The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
