Celebrating Communities 2011

Yarmouth, NS
September 28 -30, 2011

Nova Scotia’s communities boast a rich and diverse cultural heritage that supports an expanding creative economy and a powerful mix of entrepreneurship and innovation. The Celebrating Communities Conference and Awards is an opportunity to celebrate this powerful mix. Join us September 28, 29 and 30 in Yarmouth and share your experience among the very best community leadership the province offers.  

This rich mix of heritage, entrepreneurship and innovation is easily found in the Acadian Communities throughout Clare, Argyle and Yarmouth. Take a breath and feel the Acadian Inspiration that has provided community roots for such entrepreneurs as Acadian Seaplants Ltd, A.F. Theriault Shipyard, – Vernon d’Éon Lobster Plugs, the Pubnico Wind Farm, Université Saint-Anne  and the Dennis Point Wharf which is home to the largest commercial fishing fleet in Atlantic Canada.

In the course of the two day celebration you will hear from some of Acadie’s top business and community leaders; Allister Surrette, Jean-Paul Deveau, Chris Frotten, Pam Thibault and even Samuel de Champlain. You will take learning excursions through sites along Nova Scotias Southwest shore, participate in a cultural extravaganza with Ryan Doucette, La Baie en joie and Grand Dérangement. You will also be a part of the celebration for the nominees of the community excellence awards which takes place at the renowned Yarmouth Mariners Centre.

See you in Yarmouth September 28th, 29th and 30th
