Antigonish Town Council hosted its first regular monthly meeting with its new mayor, deputy mayor and councillors on Monday night.
Mayor Sean Cameron, who was sworn in last week alongside deputy mayor Diane Roberts, and councillors Andrew Murray, Jack Sullivan, Leon MacLellan, Patrick McKenna, and Juanita Pelly on November 6, said the first meeting went well. He and some of council attended initiation sessions with municipal affairs in Halifax. He said he is looking forward to getting great work out of council and building on the work of previous councils.

The Town is also looking at setting up a committee of the whole structure, which Cameron said would be new to the town.
Cameron adds the committee of the whole would be a way of getting councillors up to speed on the committee work of other councillors.
