A SNAPSHOT OF RESTIGOUCHE
To better help you navigate the different regions where the activities are held, here is a glimpse of where each community is located. The Restigouche Regional Service Commission encompasses the municipalities, communities, and local service districts from Durham Parish (excluding Belledune) in the East to the Kedgwick Rural Community in the West. It is worth noting that the distance between the farthest points is roughly 130 km (approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes by car), however all the activities are very accessible. Please Note: The municipality of Saint-Quentin is also located in Restigouche County; however, a separate activity guide was developed for the Restigouche West Region. Given the proximity of Kedgwick Rural Community to SaintQuentin, the activities held within the Kedgwick Rural Community are listed in both guides. The Restigouche West Activity Guide can be found at the following link: Restigouche West Activity Guide (English)

The term “Acadians” refers to immigrants from France in the early 1600s who settled in the former colony of Acadia, a region encompassing the present-day provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. During the deportation in 1755, Acadians were uprooted from their land by the British and deported to New England or the United Kingdom. Afterwards, some survivors returned to Acadia, often many decades later. The Acadian Festival is a national holiday that pays tribute to Acadians' cultural vitality and longstanding heritage in Canada. Kedgwick celebrates the Acadian Festival through a range of activities, including the raising of the Acadian flag, musical performances and a “tintamarre”, an Acadian tradition where people walk around the community and make lots of noise.
