Meeting of Atlantic Cabinets at Mount A



This week Mount A is pleased and proud to host the Atlantic Premiers ­ Honourable Shawn Graham (New Brunswick), Honourable Rodney MacDonald (Nova Scotia), Honourable Danny Williams (Newfoundland and Labrador) and the Honourable Robert Ghiz (Prince Edward Island) - along with their cabinet ministers from all four provinces.

The Premiers and their Cabinets are coming together on our campus on Thursday and Friday for a Meeting of Atlantic Cabinets, the first such meeting to be convened in over a decade. The last time a similar meeting was held, only the three Maritime provinces participated. We are extremely pleased that the Atlantic provinces have selected Mount Allison for their meeting spot for this very special occasion.

The gathering will kick off on Thursday, January 17 at 4:30 p.m., when the Premiers and their Ministers will hit the ice with the women’s hockey team at the Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre.

Come out and cheer on your home province, as our hockey team members will play alongside the Premiers and Ministers according to their home province. The Newfoundland and Labrador delegation will not be available to participate in the hockey game.

Admission is by donation of a non-perishable food item for the Sackville Food Bank. Monetary donations will also be collected for the Food Bank.
