Antigonish Area Fire & Rescue Training Centre

09/03/2026

The training centre hit a major milestone today! We have poured a 60'x74' cement pad that will house our live fire training facility as well as our vehicle extrication training pad.

Pictured below, Antigonish Area Fire and Rescue Training Centre Association members Adrian Van de Sande, Blaise MacDonald and Robert MacPherson were on site to celebrate this amazing milestone

We would like to take a moment to thank all of our supporters, who without contributing, would not have made this possible

We look forward to sharing some awesome updates as they happen in the near future!

🚨 The countdown is on! 🚨

Last night, the Baby Barn was put into place with the help of our amazing friends at Beech Hill Auto Repair & Towing!

It has now been cleaned, fully stocked and is waiting to serve you!

Come out, say hello and enjoy some delicious food while supporting a great cause. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the development of our new Antigonish Area Fire & Rescue Training Centre.

We can’t wait to see you!

A huge shoutout to Antigonish Radio for continually supporting and promoting our local first responders and our commitment to the communities we serve!

From highlighting the voices behind the Antigonish Area Fire & Rescue Training Centre, to promoting our weekly 50/50, our Nissan Kicks Raffle, and so much more—your continued support helps us share our mission and reach people throughout our region.

Your understanding of the life of a first responder—the dedication, commitment, time away from our families, and sacrifices made to protect our communities—helps you share our message in such a meaningful way.

When our local media, first responders, businesses, and community members stand together, our message becomes stronger and our communities become stronger.

From all of us at the AATC, thank you, Antigonish Radio, for helping amplify our voices and for always standing alongside those who serve. We all stand together!

We would like to apologize for the delay in posting the draw video. During the recording of the draw, there was radio interference as some of our departments was responding to an emergency call. To protect the privacy of the emergency call at hand, portions of the video had to be edited before the video could be shared. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
