The French presence in Prince Edward Island .: SF31-134/2-2017E-PDF

"The French presence in PEI dates back to 1720, when a French colony settled on the island known as Île Saint-Jean. Nearly all of the Acadians were deported from the island in 1758. In 1884, Maritime Acadians adopted their national symbols, including the flag, at the Acadian National Convention in Miscouche. In 1990, the PEI government created the French-language school board, which is responsible for administering and promoting French education in the province. In 2013, the new French Language Services Act was passed"--History, p. [1].
