Antigonish at a glance

The Antigonish Highland Games, first held in 1863, are the oldest continuously held Highland games outside Scotland. The name Antigonish comes from a Mi'kmaw word often translated as “where branches are torn off”, said to refer to bears. The Antigonish Movement, led by Moses Coady and others at StFX in the 1920s and 1930s, promoted co-operatives and adult education. St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish serves the north-eastern mainland. Antigonish lies on Highway 104 between New Glasgow and the Canso Causeway to Cape Breton.

Gambling responsibly in Antigonish

Gambling is a leisure expense, never an income. Set a budget and a time limit before each session, never chase losses and use the platform's deposit limits. If you are unsure about your habits, call the Nova Scotia Problem Gambling Help Line at 1-888-347-8888; the service covers the whole province, Antigonish included. Most platforms also offer cooling-off periods and self-exclusion from a few days to several years.
