Antigonish MLA Michelle Thompson answers questions about consolidation after an announcement at St. Francis Xavier University. - Aaron BeswickAntigonish MLA Michelle Thompson intends to represent both those for and against consolidation of the town and county during the spring sitting of legislature.

Let Antigonish Decide has held public meetings, put up signs around the town and county and recently filed an action with the Nova Scotia Supreme Court request that the County’s motion to request special legislation be thrown out. The group claims members from both those in favour and against consolidation but who share the belief that the matter should go to a pleblicite.
