About ARDA | Antigonish Regional Development Authority

Community Development

At ARDA, we believe that a strong community is essential to a sustainable economy. We also believe that it’s the people living in the community who know best what they need to be safe, healthy, active and creative.

Working with local organizations, we provide expertise, guidance and support to develop resources and infrastructure that will enrich the quality of life of everyone who lives in Antigonish, now and in the future.

If your organization has an idea that will make our community stronger and smarter, we’d love to hear from you. We can help you scope out project needs, provide information on funding sources, assist in proposal preparation, help you navigate the application process and offer advice on project management and long term operation. We don’t just do, we teach, and we’re proud to watch as the community takes ownership of their successful project.
