While organizers of The Grand Pré 2017 event say it was a big success, they’re confident it’s just the beginning of a rekindled relationship between the Francophone and Indigenous people in Nova Scotia.

Hundreds of people took to Grand Pré National Historic Site in the Annapolis Valley over the past weekend — despite the rainy skies and muddy grass — in what was dubbed a celebration of peace and friendship.

Morley Googoo, regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations for Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, said they have new allies in the Acadian people.

“We had amazing, incredible feedback way beyond my expectations and I really welcome that,” Googoo said. “I think this gathering here is only the tip of the iceberg of many more events to come.”
