Acadian Groups Propose Chignecto Isthmus National Park to Preserve Cultural Significance

Three Acadian organizations in Atlantic Canada are advocating for the establishment of a national park in the Chignecto Isthmus, a narrow land corridor connecting New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The proposal aims to protect the area’s cultural and environmental significance, which includes numerous national historic sites and Acadian-built infrastructure. The organizations highlight the federal government’s responsibility for safeguarding this area from the impacts of climate change, particularly in light of the increased risk of coastal flooding in the region.
