Known for its joie de vivre, this Welcoming Francophone Community is proud to display its Acadian colours. While the cradle of Acadia, Grand-Pr\u00e9, is nearby, Acadians started to settle in Clare in 1768, after the deportation. Today, the region is full of community and sporting activities, including the Festival acadien de Clare \u00ac the oldest Acadian festival in existence \u00ac and the Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie, the largest cycling event in Atlantic Canada.

In 1755, four decades after the British conquest of Acadia, the British authorities deported the Acadians to the American colonies and to England. In 1764, they were allowed to return to Nova Scotia, provided that they did not form groups large enough to pose a threat. The Acadians dispersed and settled on the province\u2019s coasts. The pre-deportation village of Pubnico was resettled by Acadians beginning in 1767, and settlements were established all along St. Mary&#8217;s Bay between 1768 and 1850. In Cape Breton, Acadians created communities in Ch\u00e9ticamp, Saint-Joseph-du-Moine and Isle Madame.<\/p>\n<p>The economy of 19th century Acadia in Nova Scotia revolved mainly around fishing, seafood-processing, lumber and shipbuilding.
