Supporting Local Agricultural Centre
Antigonish Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company has been serving the communities in their region for many decades, and part of that service is to provide financial support to their many valuable community organizations. The company expressed that the Antigonish Agricultural Centre initiative is, “a perfect fit for us. Therefore, if this project moves forward, it is our intent to provide a minimum of $200,000 in financial support.” Accepting the letter of support with this commitment, June 15, was Antigonish Farmers’ Market Association president Casey Van de Sande (left) and presenting were Antigonish Farmers’ Mutual vice-president Joanne Van der Linden and general manager Bill Chisholm. It was noted on June 29, fundraising efforts have now raised more than $416,000 towards the goal of $700,000 and if anyone wants to donate they can go to antigonishfarmersmarket.ca/donate.
