Brookfield is a rural community located in southern
Colchester County. Brookfield is a growing community in the heart of
Nova Scotia, just forty minutes from the provincial capital of Halifax, thirty minutes from the Stanfield International Airport and
ten minutes from the Town of Truro.
With a population of just over
1200 it has all the benefits of a small town while also having easy
access to big-city amenities. Brookfield is a community with a great
sense of pride, where neighbours know each other's names and take
care of each other.
2009 marked 225 years of settlement in Brookfield
and the community received the Lieutenant Governor's Community
Spirit Award at a July 18 ceremony marking the opening of Coming
Home to Brookfield Days.
The community hosts all levels of
public schools, restaurants, a bakery, a service station, a
sportsplex, an 18 hole golf course, and a volunteer fire service.
Surrounded by farming areas and forestry, Brookfield is located
along Highway 102 and Trunk 2 where they intersect with Route 289.
