Meet The Team
The People Behind the Progress
The Kentville Business Community (KBC) is a non-profit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors drawn directly from the downtown business community. Our mandate is to represent the collective interests of Kentville’s businesses and organizations.
​
We work closely with a committed staff team, the Town of Kentville, and community partners, to shape a downtown that’s vibrant, welcoming, and full of opportunity.

Staff
Our staff work behind the scenes (and sometimes in the streets!) to bring KBC’s plans to life—from events and communications to advocacy and community engagement.
A Note of Thanks
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who volunteers their time and energy to help make downtown Kentville a better place—whether you're serving on a committee, supporting an event, offering feedback, or helping behind the scenes.

Building a strong, connected, and resilient business community takes all of us. When we show up, work together, and stay engaged, we build something bigger than any one of us could do alone.
