This book was released on 2013 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is obvious that the Francophone community on Prince Edward Island has evolved significantly because of the many changes in society over the years, and it is also obvious that this community of "French speakers" is still evolving. The government of Prince Edward Island recognizes that the linguistic landscape of Prince Edward Island has changed fundamentally in the last four decades. This major transformation wasn't brought on by this government alone, or even by the combined actions of different public administrations. In reality, a social change has taken place in families, schools, community organizations and all Island communities. Moreover, today increasing numbers of Anglophones on Prince Edward Island speak French because they recognize the importance of knowing both of the country's official languages. The government of Prince Edward Island increasingly recognizes the magnitude of the value of the Francophone community in the province. The Island Francophone community's contribution to and potential for the development of the province are more often seen at their true value. A Francophone community that is stronger culturally and economically can only increase its contribution. The citizens of the province also recognize more today the value of linguistic duality and of a flourishing Francophone community in their province. This is what motivated the government in 2009 to respond to calls from the Acadian and Francophone community to join it in developing a strategic plan for the ongoing development of the Island Francophone community. It is from this perspective that the government of Prince Edward Island and the Acadian and Francophone community (AFC) formed the Joint Working Group (JWG) to establish a joint development plan for the Island Acadian and Francophone community. While it respected community independence in choosing what to do, the provincial government took on a leadership role and coordinated the JWG's efforts. This report gives the background of the joint initiative and describes the effects of the relationship between the provincial government and the AFC. It gives a clear idea of the JWG's mandate and final objective and indicates the main stakeholders who contributed to the planning. The last section of the background information presents a broad overview of the findings and issues related to demographics, identity and diversity, and the achievements of both parties. This document also describes the shared perspectives of the provincial government and the AFC, especially regarding the latter's priorities and the strategic orientations targeted by the plan. The last part of the document contains recommendations for implementing the strategic actions in the plan.
Book Synopsis Contexts of Acadian History, 1686-1784 by : Naomi E.S. Griffiths
Download or read book Contexts of Acadian History, 1686-1784 written by Naomi E.S. Griffiths and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992-03-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1600 there were no such people as the Acadians; by 1700 the Acadians, who numbered almost 2,000, lived in an area now covered by northern Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the southern Gaspé region of Quebec. While most of their ancestors had come to live there from France, a number had arrived from Scotland and England. Their relations with the original inhabitants of the region, the Micmac and Malecite peoples, were generally peaceful. In 1713 the Treaty of Utrecht recognized the Acadian community and gave their territory -- on the frontier between New England and New France -- to Great Britain. During the next forty years the Acadians continued to prosper and to develop their political life and distinctive culture. The deportation of 1755, however, exiled the majority of Acadians to other British colonies in North America. Some went on from their original destination to England, France, or Santo Domingo; many of those who arrived in France continued on to Louisiana; some Acadians eventually returned to Nova Scotia, but not to the lands they once held. The deportation, however, did not destroy the Acadian community. In spite of a horrific death toll, nine years of proscription, and the forfeiture of property and political rights, the Acadians continued to be part of Nova Scotia. The communal existence they were able to sustain, Griffiths shows, formed the basis for the recovery of Acadian society when, in 1764, they were again permitted to own land in the colony. Instead of destroying the Acadian community, the deportation proved to be a source of power for the formation of Acadian identity in the nineteenth century. By placing Acadian history in the context of North American and European realities, Griffiths removes it from the realms of folklore and partisan political interpretation. She brings into play the current historiographical concerns about the development of the trans-Atlantic world of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, considerably sharpening our focus on this period of North American history.

Book Synopsis Deportation of the Prince Edward Island Acadians by : Earle Lockerby
Download or read book Deportation of the Prince Edward Island Acadians written by Earle Lockerby and published by Nimbus Publishing (CN). This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the fortress of Louisbourg fell to the British in 1758, the Acadians of Prince Edward Island (then known as Île Saint-Jean) were doomed to a horrible fate--deportation from their homes to an unknown land thousands of kilometres away. Shipwrecks and disease took a terrible toll during the voyage to France, and hundreds of the approximately three thousand deportees lost their lives. Earle Lockerby's meticulously researched account sheds new light on this tragic event, from its implementation to the experiences of the Acadians who eluded British troops and escaped to the mainland, to the deportees' arrival in Europe. Featuring excerpts from original documents and letters, Deportation of the Prince Edward Island Acadians is an important record of this neglected chapter in the saga of the Acadian people.

Book Synopsis Negotiating Two Worlds by : Rachelle Gauthier
Download or read book Negotiating Two Worlds written by Rachelle Gauthier and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study explores the cultural identity formation of young Prince Edward Island Acadians. A group of francophone Acadians was involved in this study in order to explore the ways in which young people living within this minority context negotiate between the two distinct linguistic and cultural realities in which they live. The participants, aged between fifteen and eighteen, live in the Charlottetown area, a place where English is the language of the majority. They attend the only French first-language school in the city and they speak French at home. A focus group was completed with a group of five participants. Two subsequent individual interviews took place with three randomly chosen focus group participants. The literature review examines certain aspects of Acadian history on PEI through the lens of power relations theories developed by researchers such as Paulo Freire, Jim Cummins, and Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, bringing a critical perspective to the social structures that have silenced Acadians for centuries. The data analysis provides a stark contrast to the dismal experiences of Acadians in the past, as the participants affirm the pride and the conviction they feel for the French language and the Acadian culture.

Book Synopsis The Canadian Encyclopedia by : James H. Marsh
Download or read book The Canadian Encyclopedia written by James H. Marsh and published by The Canadian Encyclopedia. This book was released on 1999 with total page 2652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of "The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work - many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books - is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home. It is no accident that the cover of this book is based on the Canadian flag. For the proud truth is that this volume represents a great national achievement. From its formal inception in 1979, this encyclopedia has always represented a vote of faith in Canada; in Canada as a separate place whose natural worlds and whose peoples and their achievements deserve to be recorded and celebrated. At the start of a new century and a new millennium, in an increasingly borderless corporate world that seems ever more hostile to nationaldistinctions and aspirations, this "Canadian Encyclopedia is offered in a spirit of defiance and of faith in our future. The statistics behind this volume are staggering. The opening sixty pages list the 250 Consultants, the roughly 4,000 Contributors (all experts in the field they describe) and the scores of researchers, editors, typesetters, proofreaders and others who contributed their skills to this massive project. The 2,640 pages incorporate over 10,000 articles and over 4,000,000 words, making it the largest - some might say the greatest - Canadian book ever published. There are, of course, many special features. These include a map of Canada, a special page comparing the key statistics of the 23 major Canadian cities, maps of our cities, a variety of tables and photographs, and finely detailed illustrations of our wildlife, not to mention the colourful, informative endpapers. But above all the book is "encyclopedic" - which the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary describes as "embracing all branches of learning." This means that (with rare exceptions) there is satisfaction for the reader who seeks information on any Canadian subject. From the first entry "A mari usque ad mare - "from sea to sea" (which is Canada's motto, and a good description of this volume's range) to the "Zouaves (who mustered in Quebec to fight for the beleaguered Papacy) there is the required summary of information, clearly and accurately presented. For the browser the constant variety of entries and the lure of regular cross-references will provide hours of fasination. The word "encyclopedia" derives from Greek expressions alluding to a grand "circle of knowledge." Our knowledge has expandedimmeasurably since the time that one mnd could encompass all that was known.Yet now Canada's finest scientists, academics and specialists have distilled their knowledge of our country between the covers of one volume. The result is a book for every Canadian who values learning, and values Canada.
