About Wolfville, Nova Scotia

Home of Acadia University

As a small university town, Wolfville offers a wide variety of opportunities and entertainment, both on and off campus.

The shops, restaurants, art galleries, cafés and cultural activities that you'll find in Wolfville will surprise you, both in their quantity and their quality, for a town this size. That's partly because of the presence of Acadia University, and partly because of the cultural creativity of the people who choose to live here.
