FREDERICTON (GNB) – The following message was issued by Premier Susan Holt in recognition of National Acadian Day:
Acadian culture is more than history; it’s alive in our communities and celebrations. It’s a huge part of what makes New Brunswick so unique and so strong. Acadian Day is a time to celebrate the rich heritage, language and traditions of the Acadian people.
Some of my best memories are from summer days filled with music, colour and laughter at the Acadian festival. Whether it was the sound of music in the air, the rhythm of the Tintamarre or the smell of traditional Acadian dishes, you could always feel the pride.
Aug. 15 is a chance to celebrate not just the past, but the future. Today’s Acadie is vibrant and forward-looking, shaped by people who are pushing boundaries, reimagining identity and shining far beyond our borders. Our government is proud to support this vibrant culture and the people who make it shine.
Thank you to everyone who brings Acadian Day festivities to life in our communities throughout the province – from the volunteers behind the scenes to the dancers, musicians, artists and families who show up with joy and pride.
Have fun, celebrate loudly and take a moment to savour just how special it is to be Acadian in New Brunswick.
