On the morning of August 15, the Municipality of Clare held a flag-raising ceremony on the grounds of the municipal office in honour of Acadian Day.
Many thanks to MP Chris d’Entremont, MLA Ronnie LeBlanc, Warden Yvon LeBlanc, Council and staff, festival representatives, as well as residents of Clare for attending. Thank you to Claire Comeau and Patrice Boulianne for singing the Acadian national anthem Ave Maris Stella and to the dance troupe La Baie en Joie for performing. Thanks also to Clare Recreation for organizing the event.
On August 15, we celebrate Acadian culture and heritage and that despite all hardships and obstacles the Acadian identity is still here and thriving.
