Warden's Message
Good day everyone and hello,
On behalf of our Council and Staff of the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s, welcome. Whether it’s the ocean shores, beaches and lighthouses, the breathtaking view, the hills or the St. Mary River, world renowned for its Salmon Fishing-we hope your time here will be a trip to inspire many more visits or even a decision to call it home.
No matter if you are a first-time visitor or a lifelong resident, there is something for everyone to do in our community. We have over 130 lakes within the St. Mary’s River watershed, one of the top ten waterfalls in Nova Scotia, kilometers, and kilometers of trails for both ATVs and hikers, and much more.
You can take a tour of historic Sherbrooke Village and step into the 19th century while at the same time stroll though our Saturday Market featuring local musicians and artisans. In the winter months our community RecPlex hosts many sporting and recreational events as is available as well for private functions.
An exciting plan for the future is the first ever Whale Sanctuary off the shores of Wine Harbour/Port Hilford housing belugas and other aquatic creatures that have been freed from captivity and needing a home to live out their lives in peace.
Our Municipal Office is the place where you can rent recreational equipment from kayaks to fishing rods. We want you to enjoy each moment as a resident or visitor to the area.
Regardless of what brings you to the District of St. Mary's, we hope that you enjoy your stay or even call it home for good.
Wherever you are from, or going, we welcome you to the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s.
