Let’s Talk Antigonish brings you thoughtful conversations as we unpack the questions, stories, and decisions shaping everyday life in our community.
This week Justin and Anuj sat down with Warden Nicholas MacInnis to unpack the 2025 Electoral Boundary Review. What sounds like dry bureaucratic shuffling turns out to be anything but. From balancing the districts to create electoral fairness to navigating tricky questions of community identity, Nicholas walks us through why redrawing these lines is far trickier than you’d think. Along the way, Justin and Anuj discover that the fringe area around town is growing faster than anyone realized (the county now accounts for up to 40% of the town’s sewer usage), learn about ambitious plans to drill new wells to supplement water supply after this summer’s once-in-50-years drought, and find out why the county actually operates more of its own water and sewer systems than most people know. With public hearings underway and a New Year’s deadline looming, this is your chance to understand what’s at stake and how you can weigh in. Tune in to learn why these boundaries are about so much more than lines on a map—and why the county and town’s improving relationship might be the best news of all.
