A CELEBRATION, FOUR CENTURIES IN
THE MAKING!
"This is the dream we offer you in anticipation
of the year 2004, when we will truly celebrate our four
centuries. If you think tonight is a party, just wait until you see
the real one. This is merely a dress rehearsal for what we will be
preparing for you over the next ten years." Antonine
Maillet, 1994

A CELEBRATION,
FOUR CENTURIES IN THE MAKING!
Here is the first in a series of messages you
will receive from the CMA 2004 team. These messages are meant
to keep you informed and involve you on our journey towards the 3rd
Congrès mondial acadien.
This international gathering of Acadians and
their friends represents a return to their roots, as Nova Scotia is
the ancestral land of many Acadian families.
Many celebrations, conferences, concerts,
family reunions as well as other celebrations and gatherings are now
in the first stages of development.
