Cameron said they were able to share town and safety related information, while also asking students to be respectful of their fellow residents and local property. The mayor said he hasn’t heard much so far from residents regarding complaints.
The town, the county, local RCMP, STFX, the student’s union, and the Antigonish landlord Association partnered in the program and the good neighbours guide, which can be found on the town’s website.

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