Welcome
to the Official Web Site of the Village of Bible Hill. The Village of Bible Hill is located across
the Salmon River from the Town of Truro in Colchester County, Nova Scotia. The Village was
incorporated in 1953 and today, with a population of over 5,000, Bible Hill
is a vibrant, primarily residential community.
The
Village is governed by a five person Commission. It operates under the Municipal
Government Act of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Village presently employs seven full
time employees, seven school crossing guards and a number of seasonal
staff. The annual budget for the
Village has recently varied from $1.6 million to $4.2 million depending on
the amount of capital projects undertaken in any given year.
Bible Hill
is home to Dalhousie
University’s new Agricultural Campus.
There
are three schools in the Village - Bible Hill Central
Elementary School, East Court Road
Elementary School and Bible Hill
Junior High School.
The
Village has nine recreational parks with two major areas for organized sports. All are maintained by the Village through
Bible Hill
Parks and Recreation. The main park is located on College Road and has
three ball fields, a soccer field, and playground equipment. This site is where the Village holds it annual Canada Day events. The Village also builds and maintains
walking trails within its boundaries.
The
Village of Bible Hill has a volunteer fire brigade with approximately 35
members. It is housed in a newly
expanded facility with five bays and up-to-date equipment. The Bible Hill Fire Brigade does a
great deal within the Village running many safety programs for our children
both in our schools and at the Fire Hall.
