Mi'kma'ki or old Acadie; Nova Scotia is definitely a "corner stone" province of our great Canadian Heritage.

Whether it is by land or water, along the inner perimeter of the fascinating Bay of Fundy; site of the highest tides on earth, the jagged Atlantic coast interspersed with stunning beaches, the ever changing scenery leading to "out of this world" Cape Breton Island, you will be touched by the rich heritage of our regions...

Besides, as a landfall for people since time immemorial, "Canada's Ocean Playground" is tantamount with, hospitality.

  • Land of long gone dinosaurs who left prints for us!
  • 11,000 years old, "Mi'kma'ki"; sacred land of the First People
  • "Katik"/Cadie"; land of the first Métis of this country
  • Heart of old Acadie, home of Évangeline
  • "New Scotland", where Celts, Planters & Loyalists heritage, all find their lure

Novacadie, time travels with you through the eras with a sensitive blend of enjoyment and discovery!

    

Acadian Culture

We offer you the opportunity to experience in many ways, the exact locations where the forefathers landed and transplanted seventeenth century France into the new lands of this continent.

To this effect, we owe so much to fascinating historical figures like Champlain and his contemporaries, who have left us documented evidence of our noble beginings as a people of Canada. Indeed, we can rejoice at the fact that the French explorers established a good relationship between them, who were the visitors and the Natives, their hosts. Friendly rapports that would bring on equal partnering and alliances in the future.

As most people around the globe will attest, nothing could ever bring people closer together then to share great food and hospitality at once!

In Canada, this historical pride has a name, it was called the

" Order of Good Cheers "
Participants receiving their certificates for the 'Order of Good Cheers!'

Four centuries after its creation, one can still embrace the human principles of solidarity as well as the joy of becoming " member " of the oldest social club in North America.

Receive your personalized certificates!

Novacadie prizes on providing such details that make all our participant's visit with us, one they will never forget!

When we talk to Acadians and about Acadie, we really call on millions of people scattered all over the world. It is referred as "the Acadian Diaspora".
Novacadie wishes to act as a meeting place and/or intermediary for us all.
A vehicle to help us re-connect with one another!
That is why we invite you to share thoughts, personal experiences, fictive or documented stories, quotes from influential authors, your own poems etc with our entire www readership!
Come visit the "Diaspora Forum" and talk to all of your Acadie, however it might be!

Our professional guides take you to some of the original French fortified sites, and areas of pre-Deportation Acadian settlements, such as:

  • "Baie Française" ( Bay of Fundy)
  • “Isle Royale” (Cape Breton)
  • “Beaubassin” (Amherst)
  • “Chignectou” (Joggins/Cape d’Or)
  • “Cobequit” (Truro)
  • “Piziguit” (Windsor/Falmouth)
  • “Mirliguèche” (Lunenburg)
  • “Chibouctou” (Halifax)

Novacadie Tours, allows you to see for yourself, the many essential sites of Canadian historical significance; the original dykes (levées), the enclosed fertile farmsteads, (cellars) and fishing communities of our own pioneers and Acadian ancestors of over 400 years ago, in "old" but forever young and vibrant Acadie...
