Mayors Message – Fall 2026

Happy Fall, Rothesay!

As the leaves change and the season settles in, it’s a good time to reflect on where we are as a community and where we’re headed.

Fiscal responsibility remains at the heart of how this Council operates. As we work through the 2027 budget process, our focus is on delivering the services residents count on while being thoughtful stewards of public money. This means making sure every dollar we spend moves our community forward meaningfully.

Speaking of moving forward — The Rothesay Intergenerational Community Complex is one of the most exciting projects this community has taken on in a generation. Fundraising momentum continues to build, and we are on track for shovels in the ground in 2027!

November 11th is also near. Remembrance Day is one of the most important days on our community calendar. It’s a time to pause and honour the men and women who served and sacrificed so that we could live the lives we do. The Official KV Remembrance Day Ceremony will be held at the Quispamsis QPlex (20 Randy Jones Way), with doors opening at 9:00 am and the ceremony beginning at 10:30 am. A community memorial service will also take place at the Cenotaph on the Rothesay Common at 10:45 am.

Thank you for your continued engagement and support. It’s a privilege to serve this community, and I look forward to what we can all accomplish together.

Mayor Matthew Alexander
Town of Rothesay
