100 Women Who Care Antigonish still going strong

Apr 29, 2024 | Local News

It’s been five years since 100 Women Who Care in Antigonish began, and leaders with the organization are reflected on their successes.  Co-Chair Yvonne Landry MacDonald says members have supported a number of groups over that period, with contributions totalling $114,000.
Traditionally, members meet four times a year, and each contribute $100 at each session to a local charity.
As the group enters its sixth year, Landry MacDonald says it’s looking for new members to join them.
Landry MacDonald says aside from donating money to a local charity, members are learning more about what these groups are doing in the local community.

The next meeting for 100 Women Who Care is June 4th at St. James United Church.

Canadian Radio Awards: 989 XFM Small Market Station of The Year

Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.

When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.

989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
