The French presence in Nova Scotia .: SF31-134/3-2016E-PDF
"In 1604, the first French colonists settled in the area of Port Royal. From 1755 to 1763, the Acadians living in the Nova Scotian peninsula were deported. Starting in 1764, Acadians were given permission to return and settled along the coast, especially in the regions of Chéticamp, Isle Madame, Baie Sainte-Marie and Par-en-Bas. The Acadian community spokesgroup in Nova Scotia, the Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse, was founded in 1968. The Acadian community has made significant progress, especially in education. The French-language Services Act was adopted in 2004 and the Regulations followed in 2006"--History, p. [1].
