About this site

Antigonish doesn't need Facebook

We need to know if the roads are closed, whether the market is on this weekend, and what time the pharmacy closes on a holiday Monday. We've been outsourcing that to an American algorithm for fifteen years. That ends here.

The Antigonish Reel is a local information feed for Antigonish, Nova Scotia. It publishes short, useful updates about what's happening in town: business hours, closures, events, and community notices.

The Reel is updated throughout the day. Posts are short by design. If something is happening in Antigonish and you'd want to know about it before you leave the house, it belongs here. If you can't find something, tell us and we'll get it on the site.

The Reel is a project of Baile Fios, a Nova Scotia initiative to rebuild locally owned information infrastructure in small-town Canada. It runs on Canadian infrastructure and is not affiliated with any social media platform.
