Following presentations on food security and local housing needs, Antigonish County Council decided to bring both issues up during their upcoming strategic planning meetings.
During Tuesday’s regular monthly meeting, Antigonish County Council heard presentations from the Rural Communities Foundation on its Dave Gunning Zero Hunger campaign, as well as from A Roof Over Your Head, a local organization dealing with homelessness and people living precariously in Antigonish and Guysborough County.
