Local Smile Cookie Campaign proceeds going to Jax Mac Foundation

Apr 29, 2024 | Local News

Antigonish County residents will be supporting a local foundation simply by buying a cookie.  The annual Smile Cookie Campaign is on this week at Tim Hortons Restaurants.
Proceeds from Smile Cookie sales at Tims locations in Antigonish and the Bayside Travel Centre will go the Jax Mac Foundation.   The Foundation was created by local resident Joey MacDonald and his family following the death of his teenage son Jaxson a few years ago.
The foundation so far has raised more than $400,000.  Last year the foundation gave out $258,000 in grants and scholarships to Canadian youth.
You can learn more about the foundation by visiting www.jaxmacfoundation.com

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.
