The Kennebecasis Valley, also known as simply Kennebecasis (/kɛnəbəˈkeɪsɪs/ ken-ə-bə-KAY-sis), its abbreviated term KV, as well as "The Valley," is a valley region in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It encompasses the suburban towns of Quispamsis and Rothesay, both situated along the lower Kennebecasis River.[3][4] The Kennebecasis Valley also encompassed the former villages that were amalgamated by Quispamsis and Rothesay.
The Kennebecasis Valley has its own regional police force[5] and fire department, the Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department, which has two stations, one in each town.[6] Both of these departments overlook both Quispamsis and Rothesay. The Kennebecasis Valley is known for its large deer population, with the area having its own Nuisance Deer Management Assistance Program.[7]
