Huge thanks to Antigonish This Week for shining a spotlight on our Bridge the Bauer campaign in this week’s issue. Your coverage helps us share why these essential life-safety upgrades at the Bauer Theatre are so important for keeping our campus–community stage safe, compliant, and active for students, artists, and audiences while we invest approximately $450,000 in fire-safety and code upgrades.

We are so grateful to everyone who has already stepped up to help “Bridge the Bauer” and ensure theatre in Antigonish has a secure home for the years ahead.
