Mahone Bay is going to be part of something really special connecting us with a global mission.

On May 21, Mahone Bay will welcome the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run, a worldwide torch relay that has connected over 150 countries in a shared wish for peace.

Since its founding in 1987, the Run has visited almost every country on earth, over 150 nations and territories, and touched the lives of millions of people.

The Peace Torch will visit Bayview School and travel along Edgewater Street to the new trail and Peace Park for a short ceremony. Everyone is invited to come out, line the route, and give a warm welcome to the runners.

Be part of a global movement, right here at home. Stay tuned for more details or learn more: https://www.peacerun.org/ca/

​This afternoon the Town flags were lowered to half-mast to honour the late Neil Cleveland. They will remain lowered until Monday.

Neil was the longest serving policeman with the Mahone Bay Police Department, serving from 1978 to 1998. He was a man deeply dedicated to his community and we know that many people who grew up in Mahone Bay remember him fondly, particularly for the time he spent focused on the wellbeing of the youth of Mahone Bay.
​
Condolences to the Cleveland family from Town of Mahone Bay staff and Council.

This morning, a woman was enjoying a stroll along one of our beautiful trails when she was greeted by a friendly black dog trotting up with its tail wagging as if to say, “Hey! You love the trail? Me too, me too!” The dog was on its own.

Thankfully, this pup was wearing its Town of Mahone Bay dog tag. The woman gave Town Hall a quick call with the tag number, and within no time, we were able to connect her with the owner and just like that, the four-legged explorer was safely home. Moments like this are exactly why dog tags matter.

Dog tags for 2026 are available at Town Hall, and remember it's mandatory to register your dog each year in Mahone Bay. Keeping your dog registered ensures we always have the most recent information to help reunite you quickly if your dog ever wanders off.
​
The best part? Registering is quick, easy, and FREE. Stop by Town Hall to pick up your tag(s), or give us a call or send an email, and we’ll mail them to you. It takes just a few minutes of your time.

​It was two years ago that a group of passionate local volunteers came together to form the Communities in Bloom (CiB) team. Since then, the group has made incredible progress in enhancing the beauty and spirit of our town. In CiB 2024, our community earned an impressive four out of five blooms, a testament to the dedication, creativity, and pride of our residents.

This year, Mahone Bay will be participating in the Communities in Bloom 2026 Atlantic Edition in the Friends-Evaluated category. It’s an exciting opportunity to build on what we’ve learned and grow even stronger together.

Photo: This meeting last year brought together amazing community partners including Mahone Bay’s Signature Festivals, Tourism & Chamber of Commerce, Talking Trees, and the Garden Club to reflect on our inaugural year and explore how we can work together to further beautify our town.
​

With spring finally here, it’s a great excuse to get outside and help tidy up our community a bit. Whether it’s just you, a few neighbours, or a local group, every little bit helps.

The Town has free clean-up kits you can grab, with transparent garbage bags, Earth Day Challenge stickers, and plastic gloves.

Fill up your bags, stick on the Earth Day Challenge sticker, and Municipal Shared Services will take care of picking them up with your usual garbage, no sorting needed.
​
It’s a simple way to particiate in the annual Earth Day Challenge while keeping our community beautiful and litter-free.
