Acadian Communities in Nova Scotia can now make a request for bilingual stop signs.
The province says they will be installing the signs on provincial roads in some Acadian communities this summer.
The effort to introduce the bilingual signs was led by Acadian students in Clare.
Executive director of la Société acadienne de Clare, Natalie Robichaud, who helped the students with the project, discussed why they wanted the signs.
“In 2024 we’re going to have the World Acadian Congress and the students wanted to do something with regards to that,” says Robichaud. “They thought ‘there’s going to be lots of francophones coming here in 2024, lets get bilingual stop signs.’”
