The 415 students who go to Aldershot Elementary School live in the town of Kentville , the surrounding neighborhoods, and Halls Harbour, where many of the families farm or fish for a living. Kids in the region love winter fun like tobogganing at Burger Hill and ice skating at the local rink. In the summertime, they camp, swim, and ride bikes. To the north is the Bay of Fundy , which has the world's highest tides. Many of Canada's original French and English settlers arrived at the Bay of Fundy coast.
Aldershot students are proud of the history of their province.
They study the Acadians , the French families who settled along the Fundy coast during the 17th century. These settlers built dikes to prevent the tides from flooding and to convert salt marshes into farmland. Today, about 30 percent of the Aldershot students are of Acadian descent, and kids from the area still enjoy seeing the dikes. Read our Privacy Policy Statement .
