Organizers behind a local skatepark project are now calling on residents.
Following a meeting of the Antigonish Skatepark Association regarding the proposed all-wheel 
park , association president and co-founder Jason Mason said the progress on the project so far is great. However, now they need the help of residents in raising their goal of $160,000.
Organizers set up links on the association’s social media to canadahelps.org, a fundraising and donation Web site, where people can donate to the park project.
Mason said fundraising events are in the works but they don’t have a schedule at the moment. They are hoping to raise the $160,000 over the next three months. If they aren’t able to hit their goal, Mason said there will still be a skatepark, but smaller.
The town and county of Antigonish have already offered funding and the association is also selling apparel with most of the money going towards the park.
