I am proud to endorse Kelly van Niekerk for the Wolfville Town Council. Kelly’s greatest asset is her ability to identify critical issues and deliver practical solutions. As a natural changemaker, she is dedicated to supporting new businesses, connecting the community, and promoting healthy living.
An avid runner and lifelong learner, Kelly is always striving for self-improvement and is unafraid to challenge the status quo. She is willing to embrace the discomfort that often comes with change in the pursuit of growth and opportunity, making her an ideal leader for our town’s future.
Kelly’s deep sense of pride and connection to the Town of Wolfville is evident in everything she does. Our early success in business was directly aided by her knowledge of local resources, her network of connections, and her relentless drive to see entrepreneurs thrive.
For these reasons and more, I wholeheartedly support Kelly Van Niekirk for Town Council. Her vision and leadership will be invaluable to the continued growth and prosperity of Wolfville.

It’s an honor to endorse Kelly for Wolfville Town Council. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kelly since 2021, as we both served on the Wolfville Business Development Corporation's board and now co-chair the organization together.
Kelly is an incredibly engaged and community-minded individual who consistently seeks comprehensive information before making decisions. Her dedication to understanding different perspectives is truly commendable: During our collaborative project work, I’ve seen how she actively listens to what people have to say and values their feelings and perspectives, ensuring that all voices in our community are heard. This approach not only fosters trust but also leads to well-informed decision-making.
Her experience as a coach for the Acadia Cross Country team demonstrates her commitment to nurturing local talent and fostering teamwork. Kelly is not just a leader; she’s a mentor who inspires others to contribute positively to our community.
As a parent of young children, she brings a vital vision for the future of Wolfville, advocating for policies that support residents and sustainable growth. Her ability to look at issues from a holistic perspective means she can balance the needs of residents and businesses alike, promoting a thriving environment for everyone.
Kelly's passion for continuous learning and improvement drives her to stay informed about best practices in municipal governance. She will work diligently to ensure our community’s priorities are addressed while also exploring innovative solutions to emerging challenges.
I wholeheartedly support her candidacy and believe she will be an exceptional advocate for our community. Please join me in voting for Kelly—she is exactly the kind of dedicated and thoughtful leader we need on our council!
