June 12, 2015 – Grand Pré, Nova Scotia – Office of the Minister of Environment, Parks Canada
Greg Kerr, Member of Parliament for West Nova, on behalf of the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, today announced infrastructure investments totalling $572 thousand in Grand-Pré National Historic Site.
Projects highlighted today include an investment that will go toward work to repair damage Hurricane Arthur caused to the Grand-Pré National Historic Site Compound, and work to replace the historic church roofing.
Grand-Pré holds a special place in the hearts and minds of many people. This site offers occasions for all Canadians to learn and to appreciate the rich and complex history of this land. The stories told here help us remember the village of Grand-Pré as a centre of Acadian settlement and the strong attachment of the Acadian people to Grand-Pré.
