Nova Scotia’s Minister of Acadian Affairs is looking forward to her visit to France.
Lena Metlege Diab travels to Paris today to promote Nova Scotia and build on historical ties between France and Acadia communities.
She tells Acadia News this is a very important trip for the government and her, personally.
“La Semaine Acadienne festival, that I am participating in, is dedicated to the celebration of the memory of the Acadia soldiers who participated in the liberation of France.”
The minister will also attend wreath laying ceremonies at Plage de Bernières-sur-mer and the Juno Beach Centre.
Diab, who is also Minister of Immigration, will meet with government officials, including the Ambassador of Canada to France, to discuss potential avenues for immigration and future missions to the country for recruitment purposes.
