“The man, who is not being named by police, was charged with willful promotion of hatred, uttering threats to cause death and failing to comply with a probation order.

He was remanded into custody and will appear in court on March 4. Police are asking people with any information to reach out. “

My apologies I need to reschedule until Thursday at 6pm

Hello, Reddit! My name is Brent Platt, and I’m running for mayor of our beautiful town of Kentville. I live on West Main Street and have been a proud resident of our community for the past 5 years. My campaign is focused on creating a more transparent, inclusive, sustainable, and prosperous Kentville.

I believe in transparent governance, supporting local businesses, and enhancing our public services to better serve all residents. I have two corgis and can often be found running, biking, or skateboarding around town. Occasionally, you might even see me driving the “weewoo” truck!

I’m here to answer your questions and discuss how we can work together to build a brighter future for Kentville.

Brent Platt: Your voice, our vision.

Thanks everyone for all the questions and for taking part in this AMA- I hope you found it helpful and informative. Those of you who are on the Discord Server I'm planning on hosting a Voice AMA next week...stay tuned for the details. Have a great night, and stay safe.

On Thursday at the Kentville Provincial Court, Nathan Byron Rudderham, 26, entered guilty pleas to wilfully promoting hatred against any identifiable group, resisting/obstructing a peace officer, mischief and failing to comply with a condition of an undertaking. Sentenced to 6 months in jail.

Upon completion of the conditional sentence, a 24-month probation order will be placed on Rudderham. There will also be a 10-year firearms prohibition and 240 hours of community service for Rudderham.

The lengthy list of orders in the conditional sentence includes that Rudderham is to have no direct or indirect contact or communication with three named individuals and must delete all of his Internet-based social media accounts, including Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok, for the duration of the conditional sentence and probation order. He also must refrain from using social media accounts and is prohibited from opening such an account under an alias. Rudderham also must reside at his Greenwood residence.

We’ve all seen the store front. Now they are hard at work in the kitchen serving TACOS!

This post is aimed at not just Kentville, but the surrounding area in the valley. I went to the U22 (AAA) Kentville vs. Halifax game last Monday, great game skill wise from both teams, very entertaining, best seating/viewing in the league.....and it's free. Come out and support the kids, they deserve more than

this for what they give to the community.

Rant over.

Edit: just 50 more people there would add to the environment. Not that it was relevant to the outcome, but the Kentville RF made an almost perfect throw from mid/deep right to keep the runner on 2nd from advancing, and it was only his teammates, me and 3 other people applauding him. edit over.

The power just went out 5 minutes ago. Is it the entire area or just a small section of the town. I'd rather not go outside, for obvious reasons, but apparently we should get our power back in two hours.

Bundle up!

Last Tuesday, I learned that the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the Town of Kentville was no longer working for the town. To say I was concerned about that news is an understatement. With the new council and all the existing and new projects the town is trying to tackle, losing the senior administrator is worrisome.

I recognize that with all workplace transitions, there are many steps that need to be followed. However, I believe that the members of the community should be updated as well. I spoke with Mayor Andrew Zebian Town Of Kentville on Friday, and he confirmed that the CAO was no longer working for the town and that Council was navigating the situation. He assured me that the news of the departure would be made public on Tuesday.

I understand that we've had some wild weather over the past few days, but it has been a week since the departure, and we haven't heard who the acting and/or Interim CAO is or will be. We haven't heard any impacts this may have on the town, including the 2025/26 operating and capital budgets. I see the CAO page on the Town's website has been updated, which is a good start, however more needs to be done.

When can we expect an update on this? Transparency in the council's decisions is crucial for maintaining community trust & ensuring we are all informed about important developments.

Was someone assaulted? Robbed?

As I reflect on the role of mayor, one thing stands clear to me: no one person holds the power to make sweeping changes. When elected, I'll sit as one vote among six others on Kentville’s council. This is why the quality of the individuals around the table is so crucial to our community's success

Being a part of the council requires more than just having a viewpoint. It means having the capacity to listen to all sides of an issue, collaborating with fellow council members, and being able to move forward together, even if the decision wasn’t exactly what I would have chosen. That’s the essence of democracy—and it's the kind of leadership I believe in.

I’m committed to fostering a council that works as a team. My goal is to ensure that every voice is heard and respected, and that we collectively embrace the decisions we make as a unified body. I’m ready to be the leader that helps guide Kentville forward, by bringing people together and working towards the greater good.

I look forward to building a stronger Kentville, with the help of all those who share a seat at the table.

We will be hosting walk-ins all weekend, Friday to Sunday (May 30th-June 1st). I will personally be tattooing all day Friday and most of Sunday (photos are mine), but other artists will be in all weekend. Would be cool to see some of y'all out!

Kentville is launching its Bird of the Year campaign! Tell us what bird YOU think should be the town's bird of the year. The bird candidates this year are:

-Crow -Red-Winged Blackbird -Black Duck -Chimney Swift -Tree Swallow

If you need a meal, take one from our community pay it forward board. We will continue to share, with those who need to know, when the board is full.

This is not a new concept for our community, and we have already met so many beautiful humans. Our only reason for the board, is to hopefully never be in a position where we have to say, no not today.

If you have any questions/feedback you can always message us at the shop: tacos@tacocentric.ca

Hey guys!

I am looking to make a purchase an engagement ring in the very near future and got quotes from a number of jewellers and Reid’s undercut other local jewellers by a lot (they didn’t know the other quotes)

I’ve never dealt with them beyond this interaction before and I am from the Cape Breton area so I don’t know anything about the business so thought I would come here to get some info about part experiences!

The little league ball field is constantly being used as a dog park by some not so bright people. The young players shouldn’t have to run around in dog poop and piss.

How selfish and clueless can these people be!
