Nova Scotia to celebrate Acadian Heritage Month in August
August will mark Nova Scotia's second annual Acadian Heritage Month.
The Government of Nova Scotia says it will honour more than four centuries of Acadian history, culture and tradition with events across the province, including concerts, culinary experiences and community gatherings.
'Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse is delighted by the launch of the second edition of Acadian Heritage Month in Nova Scotia,' said Denise Comeau Desautels, president of the Fédération acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse, in a news release from the province.
'This year's theme – Honouring Acadian Heritage, Shaping the Future – is an invitation to be proud of our ancestors who paved the way for the Acadie we know today and to be confident in its future.'
In addition, National Acadian Day will be observed in Nova Scotia on Aug. 15.

2 people sent to hospital after plane crash in central Alberta
Two people were taken to hospital — one by STARS Air Ambulance and another by ground — following a small plane crash in Linden, Alta., on Tuesday afternoon. The crash happened at a private, non-registered airstrip in Linden, 100 kilometres northeast of Calgary, at approximately 4:45 p.m., according to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB). A STARS spokesperson said one person was airlifted to Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. According to RCMP, another person was taken to hospital by ground ambulance as a precaution. No information is available on the extent of any injuries. In a statement to CBC News, TSB media relations coordinator Hugo Fontaine said the crash happened during the landing process. "The aircraft's landing gear contacted a wired fence at the approach end of the runway and flipped over," he said. "We did not deploy any investigators to the scene, but we are still gathering information and assessing the occurrence."
