Report from Antigonish

The Antigonish Highland Games, organizer of the Great Canadian Kilt Skate in Antigonish, reports:

"The Great Canadian Kilt Skate made its arrival in Antigonish on Heritage Day, February 16th, at the StFX Keating Center. We were thrilled with the crowd of approximately 180 participants, many of whom donned tartan, all of whom had a tremendous afternoon!

“The crowd was so big in fact that two separate rinks were opened for the event. The oatcakes provided by Sodexho were a big hit, and we were so pleased to see so many local children take part.

“It was arguably our biggest crowd to date, and we couldn’t be happier to see this event continue to grow with each year.

“We look forward to even bigger and better in 2027, and thank everyone for joining us!"
