The Village of Pugwash is one of 20 incorporated villages in Nova Scotia.
The Village services provided include parks and recreation, festivals and the provision, care and maintenance of sidewalks. The Village staff and commissioners work closely with all other levels of government to ensure that all services are maintained and that new services, such as water supply, are provided in a timely and appropriate manner.
The Village affairs are overseen by a team of five elected commissioners who work to provide the best services possible to village ratepayers. The village staff provide those services and advise the commission when new or different services are required.
The rights, restrictions and services that can be offered by a Village are described in the Nova Scotia Municipal Government Act. Chapter 18 pertains specifically to Villages.
