Peter Allen District Nine Councillor

Presenting a cheque for $4,000 to the Avonport United Baptist Church as part of the Councillor Grants to Organizations initiative for installation of new heat pump. (Pictured from left to right, Charles Hope, Carol Levy, Peter Allen, Bill Smith, and missing from photo, Kim Kennie.)

Pleased to present Zelda Weatherbee with a cheque for $3,500 as part of the municipality's Councillor Grants to Organizations initiative to assist with exterior painting for the Gaspereau Church.

Proud to have presented a cheque for $7,500 to Paul McKinley as part of the municipality’s Councillor Grants to Organizations initiative. These funds will help cover the operating expenses for the Horton Community Centre Association during Covid-19.

The next municipal election will be in October 2020, and I will be re-offering for the seat of District Nine Councillor for the Municipality of the County of Kings. It’s been a dynamic four years and I hope to continue the momentum in the next term (2020-2024)!

Good Morning! We have officially opened for the 2020 season. We are excited to be back with a few changes! - We ask that you sanitize on arrival and respect s...ocial distancing. -We have reduced our seating to 50% capacity. - We have reduced our menu ( we will be posting this soon!) and hours to start. - Wait Staff are wearing masks. - We are following all sanitization and cleaning requirements set forth by the province. We cannot wait to see you all! It’s been much too long!

People can now gather in groups of up to 10 without physical distancing. Groups don’t need to be exclusive but are strongly encouraged to be. This replaces fami...ly household bubbles. People can also now gather in groups of up to 50 with physical distancing. This applies to social events, faith gatherings, sports and physical activity, weddings and funerals, and arts and culture events. Effective today, playgrounds can reopen. Municipalities and other owners will need time to prepare them, so people should not expect them to open immediately. It's important to remember the basics: wash your hands often, cough or sneeze into your arm and stay home if you are sick.

Nova Scotia is introducing the immediate family bubble, allowing two immediate family households to come together without physical distancing. The families must... be mutually exclusive to each other to minimize risk of #COVID19 spread. Families cannot have large family gatherings like birthday celebrations or reunions. When selecting which other family household they’ll connect with, families should consider three factors age, occupation and health condition of all household members.
