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 โ€” 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 โ€” the oldest Highland Games in Canada outside of Scotland โ€” reflecting the region's deep Gaelic heritage.

“Our driver, Yasir, was on time in a very nice new clean Suburban. We enjoyed a safe ride from the airport to the Halifax waterfront and a friendly conversation with Yasir. Will use Premier if in the area again.”

“Excellent service and reasonable rates. Our driver Abdulrahman was fantastic taking care of everything we could have wanted. The car was impeccably clean and comfortable and the entire experience was a joy after 12 hours of airports, security, customs and Air Canada. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
