Kennetcook

The mandate of the KCVS is to initiate and support projects to enhance the community of Kennetcook both culturally and economically. The organization was founded in 1995 and has been meeting regularly since then. KCVS has been actively involved in several community projects including, a new Medical Center in Kennetcook, the search for a resident doctor, efforts to re-establishing a post office, Human Resources Canada - training needs for the community, and a Kennetcook Intemet homepage on the world wide web to name a few. A number of fund raising events have been organized such as the annual calendar project and activities in conjunction with Fireman Days. KCVS actively supported the Kennetcook Volunteer Fire Department in its project to build an addition to the firehall.

Special Projects

• Community Birthday Calendar Campaign

"East Hants is highly marketable as a tourism destination, with particular potential in the ecotour and heritage niches. Developing this potential would create employment and improve local infrastructure, and can be managed without negative effect on the local social and physical environment."

Calender Fund Raiser

In 2001 the Community Birthday Calender program was taken over by the Kennetcook District Elementary School  playground group.This is a dedicated group of parents who are raising funds to replace the playground equipment at the elementary school. They canvass the community and surrounding area in the fall and usually sell 150-200 calendars. Each person who buys a calendar can list family and friends - birthdays, anniversaries, and memorials so everyone knows the dates. A picture associated with the community is also added as a keepsake.
