On May 13, 2025, Council gave notice of its intention to rezone all properties on Hawthorn Road from Residential General to Residential Unserviced.

A Public Hearing on this proposal will be held by Town Council at the Fire Station in the Community Room, 41 Hawthorn Road on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, beginning at 6:30 PM. The purpose of the Public Hearing is to receive written and verbal submissions from the public on this proposal.

Council will then receive the report on the Public Hearing and consider the rezoning proposal at their June 10th regular Council meeting.

Please note this is a Public Hearing that was originally scheduled for May 6, 2025, but needed to be rescheduled due to a clerical error in the original motion of Council.

​

The Town Office will be closed on Monday, May 19th for Victoria Day. We wish you all a safe and happy long weekend!

If you have a public works emergency or service interruption please call 902-543-3251.

Join us in congratulating Jenny Sandison, Mahone Bay’s 2025 Representative Volunteer! 

Jenny has been a dedicated force in our community for decades. In 1999, she helped establish the Mahone Bay Garden Club, which continues to care for the beautiful public gardens throughout our town. Since 2016, Jenny has served as the club’s President, organizing the annual plant sale with proceeds going towards the ongoing beautification of Mahone Bay. In 2024, Jenny joined the Communities in Bloom initiative, which played a key role in Mahone Bay receiving the national award for Community Involvement—a testament to the hardworking volunteers in our community. Jenny also shares her talents with St. James Anglican Church, where she creates stunning floral arrangements using blooms from her own garden.

Thank you, Jenny, for your tireless work and commitment to making Mahone Bay a more beautiful place to live!
