A prosperous, happy and peaceful

About
Nation Prospère Acadie (Nation Prospère), through its research and interventions, develops
and implements durable solutions to enable Atlantic Canada’s Acadian People to thrive in the 21st century. The organisation is a Canadian registered charity and it intervenes in four areas:
Continuity of the French language
and culture
Protection and enhancement of Acadian heritage
Conservation of Acadian folk art collections
Protection of l’Acadie’s natural environment
Our Vision
We see an Acadian Nation in Atlantic Canada that is French, prosperous, open to the world and whose institutional structures contribute to the well-being and health of all its people. The natural environment and cultural heritage of l’Acadie is protected and enhanced for the enjoyment of present and future generations. A prosperous and welcoming land, l’Acadie lives happily and at peace with the First Nations, English speaking and allophone communities that share its territory. Together, all harness their creativity and resources to build a better world.
