want to leave us. But cheer up! The fair weather is just on the horizon and summer
is sure to arrive. At this time, it gives me great pleasure to unveil the many programs

We are delighted to announce the creation of the Shediac
Arts Council! We are a grassroots movement dedicated to
positioning the Greater Shediac Area as a vibrant, year-round
arts community in the heart of Atlantic Canada. Our goal is to
enrich the intrinsic value of community life, and to strengthen
the year-round economic viability of the Greater Shediac Area
by fostering an appreciation for the arts in all its forms. The
Shediac Arts Council has established a Central Registry of
artists and supporters of the arts to assist artists in developing opportunities to showcase their talents, to plan events,
share information and to provide a means for artists and their
supporters to get to know one another. Artists and art lovers
are invited to become part of this Central Registry. For more
information, please e-mail Susan Jardine at susan2italy@
yahoo.ca or call 532-0007.
SOCIÉTÉ HISTORIQUE DE LA MER ROUGE
The “Société historique de la mer Rouge” (« Red Sea Historical
Society”) was founded in 1980 as a group of citizens interested in history, especially the Acadian history of the
Shediac–Cap-Pelé area. The “mer Rouge” (or Red Sea) was
the name given to present day Northumberland Strait, at the
time of French Acadia.
Since its creation, the “Ssociety historique” has been instrumental in preserving heritage buildings, such as the Barachois
Historic Church (c. 1825), the Historic School in CormierVillage, and the Pascal Poirier house in Shediac, the Barachois
pioneer’s cemetery, and various monuments. Every year the
“Societé” publishes its historic gazette, “Sur l’Empremier”
(“The Old Days”), filled with articles on local and regional
history, mostly written by local authors and amateur historians. Articles submitted in English may be published as such,
or translated. The “Societé” also brings its moral and organisational support to other heritage projects and preservation
efforts, and encourages historical knowledge in our communities to foster pride and solidarity. No need for a diploma in
History. The “Societé” is always seeking new members and
especially new articles for “Sur l’Empremier”. Please note that
the “Societé” functions mainly in French, but is open to all. For
more information, please contact Claude Léger at 532-5314.
