(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/15/16 -- The diversity of Canada''s society is a strength, and our two official languages are a cornerstone of this diversity.

The Government of Canada recognized the day in 2003 when it passed the , inviting all Canadians to celebrate the historical and cultural heritage of Acadian people.
Happy National Acadian Day!
