Acadia Centre for Estuarine ResearchThe Acadia Centre for Estuarine Research (ACER) was established in 1985 following 70 years of interest and study on the potential and implications of tidal power development in the Bay of Fundy. Initial funds were provided by the Secretary of State under the Centres of Specialization Fund, with additional facility and funding support provided by Acadia University.

Founded in 1977, The Odd Book provides second hand and rare books to satisfy a variety of tastes. Travellers and Wolfville residents shop here for mysteries, westerns, science fiction and other light reading at affordable prices. Quality academic non-fiction is another of the store’s strengths. There are always plenty of new titles, with local readers and Acadia University’s students and professors stopping in to buy and sell. Wolfville is a bookish town with more than 40 per cent of its adult population holding post-secondary degrees. As well as being a university town, Wolfville is situated in the centre of a settled rural community. This larger community’s tastes are reflected in the store’s many titles on practical topics, from beekeeping to boat building. Through a wide range of local contacts, the store is regularly supplied with antiquarian books and ephemera related to the history and literature of Atlantic Canada.
