  pdf Remembrance Day(23 KB) - Mayor and Council Proclamation Message

On November 11, we pause to pay tribute to our servicemen and women on this solemn day of remembrance.

We honour their service and their sacrifices and never forget their extraordinary bravery.

Today, Canadian service women and men continue to serve courageously in our military and on combat and peacekeeping missions in theatres around the world.

On behalf of the Town of Oxford, we thank all veterans for everything they have done for Canada. 

Their legacy is a strong, free Canada including this warm welcoming community we call home.

On Remembrance Day, join us at the Cenotaph to recognize those who have served and continue to serve our nation.

Changes coming to recycling in Nova Scotia

Cumberland Region Solid Waste Services

 
Changes are coming to recycling in Nova Scotia!
New provincial rules will soon shift recycling responsibility from municipalities to the companies that make and sell packaging and paper.
Starting on December 1, 2025 the Town of Amherst, Municipality of Cumberland, and Town of Oxford are partnering with Circular Materials, a not-for-profit organization that is committed to building an efficient and effective recycling system in Nova Scotia.
Residents will continue to receive the same reliable services - with the added benefit of being able to recycle even more materials!
Stay tuned as we get closer- we'll share updates on what materials you'll be able to add to your recycling bags and how this benefits our community and environment.
