Kennetcook is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Municipal District of East Hants. The village takes its name from the Kennetcook River which is believed to come from a Mi'kmaq word meaning "The Place Further Ahead or The Place Nearby". The river was an important east-west canoe and portage route for the Mi'kmaq people connecting the Piziquid (Windsor) area with the canoe routes and settlement areas along the Shubenacadie River.
A covered bridge spanned the Kennetcook River until 1967. This was the last covered bridge in Nova Scotia. Currently, efforts are underway to revitalize the downtown through development and implementation of an economic development plan. This development plan will include the construction of an amphitheatre, multi-purpose center, commercial development space and the re-construction of the covered bridge. Sperry Design was engaged to develop concept vision renderings as part of this revitalization project.
