A movement to improve people's lives flourished in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia in the 1920s and 1930s. In order to improve the economic conditions of farmers, fishermen, and workers, consumer cooperatives were established in each region, and these cooperatives were used as the core of efforts to promote self-help through adult education. It was born as part of the assertion of provincial rights by the maritime provinces in the 1920s, and is notable for its aim to improve people's spiritual as well as material conditions. Antigonish is a place name, located about 180 km northeast of Halifax, and is the site of St. Francis Xavier University, which produced the leaders of this movement.

1920年代から30年代にかけて,カナダのノバ・スコシア州で盛んとなった生活改善運動。農民,漁民,労働者の経済状況を改善するために地域ごとに生活協同組合を設立し,それを核としての成人教育を通じて自助を促進しようとした。1920年代,沿海諸州が州権の主張を行ったその一環として生まれたもので,物質的向上と共に精神的向上も目指したことが注目される。アンティゴニシュAntigonishは地名で,ハリファクスの北東約180kmにあり,この運動の指導者を輩出した聖フランシス・ザビエル大学の所在地である。
