In 2005, the Antigonish Highland Games will take place on July 16th and 17th. As many of you may have heard, the Canadian Highland Dancing Championships are also scheduled to take place in Antigonish over three days earlier in the week and it is expected that a large number of the dancers, their parents and supporters will remain in Antigonish for the weekend events.

With this in mind, accommodations in Antigonish may be quite limited during the 2005 Highland Games weekend. The Antigonish Highland Society advises the ACPBA, its member bands and soloists to make tentative bookings now for the 2005 event.

For further information on accomodations you may contact the Check-in Nova Scotia Reservation and Information Service online at checkinnovascotia.com or by phoning 1-800-565-0000 (toll-free from anywhere in North America).

Or contact Antigonish’s local Visitor Information Centre, open seasonally from June to October. The telephone number is (902) 863-4921 and it is located at the intersection of West Street and the Trans Canada Highway (Exit 32) at Antigonish.
