On this Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval, I join Canadians in recognizing the important role Acadians have played in Canada's history.
Acadians have demonstrated tenacity in preserving their community. The Great Upheaval, which h occurred between 1755 and 1763, was a tragic event for many Canadians.
As Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity), I invite all Canadians to take advantage of the Day of Commemoration of the Great Upheaval to learn more about the history of Acadians, their symbols, their institutions, and their contributions to Canada.
