It was a busy weekend for the Antigonish District RCMP. Officers responded to several calls for
noise complaints, house parties of more than 10 people and large groups of students gathering on streets.

RCMP say these are not acceptable behaviours during a pandemic and officers will continue to take enforcement measures to stop it.
Police charged five people under the Nova Scotia Health Protection Act for failing to social distance. Three other charges under the Town of Antigonish Municipal Noise By-law were laid and four people were charged under the Liquor Control Act. One person was also taken into custody overnight for being intoxicated in a public place.
