Volunteers Needed!

7/14/2025

 
In the months of July & August, our Water Utility will be conducting its annual Lead Sampling Program, testing the homes of 10 volunteers, to meet Health Canada testing requirements. Lead is
not a concern with the water that comes from the water treatment plant but if you own an older home, there could be some lead in your pipes, fixtures, etc.

Volunteer to have your water sampled and the test results will be shared with you. Contact [email protected] or call 902-624-8327 to sign up!

Make a Splash!

TOWN NOTICE: FREE LANE & PUBLIC SWIMS IN JULY

Pool opening will be announced by the Mahone Bay Pool Society. Please visit their official Facebook page for an update.

Maintenance is complete and the water has been given the all clear at the Mahone Bay Pool. We’re truly sorry for the disappointment this delay has caused.

The closure was due to an unexpected equipment failure, a reminder that we’re doing our best to keep an aging pool running, one fix at a time. Looking ahead, if we want a pool for future generations, a major investment is required.

And great news: The Mahone Bay Pool will be offering free lane and public swims through the remainder of July. If you’ve already purchased a summer-long membership, you’ll receive credit for July, and if you’ve yet to buy yours, now’s the time to buy, with no charge for the month of July.

Please contact the pool to register for the 3 full sessions (6 weeks) of lessons on offer.

Summer is here and there’s no better way to enjoy it than a good swim.

Thank you for your patience! Now go make a splash!

Multiflora Rose

7/2/2025

 
Multiflora Rose is a member of the rose family, it is an invasive species that has been identified in Mahone Bay. It is a shrub, native to eastern Asia. This plant is capable of aggressive growth, often climbing over and outcompeting native plants and trees for light and nutrients. It reduces the biodiversity of the areas that it inhabits.

It can be identified by its multiple white flowers (seen in May and June), and long climbing canes that have stiff curved thorns. It has a very high seed production, which you can see by looking at the number of rosehips it has, which are green in the spring, and red in late summer.

Removing it can be very difficult, as cutting it back will encourage regrowth. The Nova Scotia Invasive Species Council recommends that you dig it out, mow it, or uproot the plants. Report the location of these plants through iNaturalist, inaturalist.org, or directly to the Nova Scotia Invasive Species Council.

Contact Lauren Clark at [email protected] for more information.

The Town of Mahone Bay is organizing a bulk purchase of rain barrels. You can order yours by visiting rainbarrel.ca. Rain barrels will be delivered to Mahone Bay in July.
 
Rain barrels are great for conserving water, reducing local flooding, providing a source of water for your garden, reducing your water bill, and protecting your foundation. If you have any questions please email [email protected].
