About the Destination

Antigonish &
St. Francis Xavier University

Antigonish is a vibrant Nova Scotia university town, known for its welcoming community, Celtic heritage, and the presence of St. Francis Xavier University — one of Atlantic Canada's most respected undergraduate institutions.

Founded in 1853, STFX has approximately 5,000 students and is particularly known for its Coady International Institute, its Celtic studies programs, and a strong tradition of student life and athletics. The university's X-Ring ceremony is one of the most celebrated traditions in Canadian university culture.

Antigonish is also home to the long-running Antigonish Highland Games — the oldest Highland Games in Canada outside of Scotland — reflecting the region's deep Gaelic heritage.
