Hello Kinfolk, I will be out in Acadia (Nova Scotia I think it is called now) 9 September to 18 September to visit Grand Pré and other sights, are there Acadian events then I should not miss? Where do I look? Merci! A Comeaux cousin

So excellent ! My Grandma was one of them ( from west coast Stephenville newfoundland) descended from Hilare Leblanc's line via Cape Breton and of course Grande Pre before that. There is one of the acadian monuments not far from there in port-au- port :) Thanks for sharing video !!
