The Nova Scotia Congrès Mondial Acadien of 2004 represents the completion of a cycle, markingthe four hundredth anniversary of the first arrival of French-speaking settlers in Nova Scotia. The third and final stop in the trilogy of reunions that have begun the reconnection of a community that was broken and scattered 250 years ago, the Nova Scotia Congrès will always be an important landmark in the history of the Acadian people.

This significant milestone deserves a wonderful keepsake—and this souvenir book is the perfect way to remember this special event. Full-colour photographs provide a vibrant accompaniment to the personal recollections, interviews, family reunions, and community celebrations included in this volume. The excitement at reuniting with loved ones and rebuilding a united future has been captured within the pages of this volume, and will endure, along with the unshakeable spirit of the Acadian people.
