Worlds Apart in Acadie: Official Languages Programs in Education in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, 1968-1984

Over the fifteen years following the passage of the Official Languages Act, minority and second official-language education programs developed in a markedly different fashion in the two provinces with the largest Acadian communities: New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. A combination of factors, including the demographic weight of the Acadian communities, the strategies of Acadian lobby groups, the attitudes of the majority and minority communities, and the ideologies of key politicians and civil servants must all be taken into account to explain the uneven development of official language education programs in these two “Acadian provinces”.

Résumé

Suivant les recommandations de la Commission royale d'enquête sur le bilinguisme et le biculturalisme, les gouvernements fédéral et provinciaux mirent en oeuvre toute une panoplie de mesures pour promouvoir, par l'entremise de programmes pédagogiques, les deux langues officielles du Canada. Pendant les quinze années qui suivirent l'adoption de la Loi sur les langues officielles, le Nouveau-Brunswick et la Nouvelle-Ecosse - où l'on retrouve les deux plus grandes communautés acadiennes des Maritimes - développèrent de façon nettement différente leurs programmes destinés à l'enseignement de la langue seconde. Cette disparité entre les deux « provinces acadiennes » s'explique par une série de facteurs, comme le poids démographique des communautés acadiennes, les stratégies des groupes de pression acadiens, les attitudes des personnes issues des milieux linguistiques majoritaires et minoritaires, ainsi que les idéologies de fonctionnaires et d'hommes politiques influents.

Camp de Belair: Ten Years After

The resulting essay advances our understanding of the tumultous few years in the middle of the 18th century, when the French-speaking Acadian population were captured and expelled from the Canadian Maritimes by the British military. After a century and a half of peaceful agrarian existence, the Acadians fled for their lives in the cold Canadian November, to a camp on the beautiful Cocagne River. Although helped by First Nations people, many Acadians perished and were buried there in the winter of 1755-56. This is their story.

The results show that Eurasian weeds were widespread within a quarter-century of Euro-Canadian settlement of Prince Edward Island. Five half-achenes of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) are the first macroplant finds of this domesticate in Atlantic Canada.

Economic, political and climatic factors contributed to the development of saltmarsh dykes in 17th century Acadia. The influence of dykeland construction and maintenance on Acadian social organization is evaluated.
