This Month August 2020 This Month in the Diocese An E-Publication of the Diocese of Antigonish Vol. 5 Issue 12 August 2020 Mask And You Shall Receive Staying safe in this time of pandemic has been a trying time of isolation and changing rules, but our faithful continue to be up to the challenge. Masks and distancing will help us stem the spread of Covid-19, but the most powerful protocols continue to be our rich supply of devotion, dedication and sense of humour. The sun still shines behind the clouds; we’ll keep smiling behind the masks. Pastoral Centre staff, from left: Irene MacNeil, Sandra O’Connell, Nick Vince, Fr.

  • Antigonish Floodrisk and Erosion Climate Change Project
    Antigonish Floodrisk and Erosion Climate Change Project The study commissioned by the Nova Scotia Department of Regional Economic Development and the Nova Scotia Department of the Environment By Dr. Tim Webster, Katie LeBlanc and Nathan Crowell Applied Geomatics Research Group, Centre of Geographic Science Nova Scotia Community College Middleton, NS B0S 1M0 & Acadia University, Wolfville, NS 1 Executive Summary The Canadian coastlines have been assessed for sensitivity to future sea-level change and it has been determined that the east coast of Canada is highly vulnerable to erosion and flooding. The third assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicates that there will be an increase in mean global sea-level from 1990 to 2100 between 0.09 m and 0.88 m (Church et al. 2001). The latest IPCC Assessment Report 4 (AR4) has projected global mean seal-level to rise between 0.18 and 0.59 m from 1990 to 2095 (Meehl et al. 2007). However as Forbes et al. (2009) point out, these projections do not account for the large ice sheets melting and measurements of actual global sea-level rise are higher than the previous predictions of the third assessment report. Rhamstorf et al. (2007) compared observed global sea-level rise to that projected in the third assessment report and found it exceeded the projections and have suggested a rise between 0.5 and 1.4 m from 1990 to 2100. Thus, Forbes et al. (2009) use the upper limit of 1.3 m as a precautionary approach to sea-level rise projections in the Halifax region.

  • Queer(Y)Ing Quaintness: Destabilizing Atlantic Canadian Identity Through Its Theatre
    QUEER(Y)ING QUAINTNESS: DESTABILIZING ATLANTIC CANADIAN IDENTITY THROUGH ITS THEATRE LUKE BROWN Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Theatre Theory & Dramaturgy Department of Theatre Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Ottawa © Luke Brown, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 Brown ii Abstract The Atlantic Canadian provinces (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia) have long been associated with agricultural romanticism. Economically and culturally entrenched in a stereotype of quaintness (Anne of Green Gables is just one of many examples), the region continuously falls into a cycle of inferiority. In this thesis, I argue that queer theory can be infused into performance analysis to better situate local theatre practice as a site of mobilization. Using terms and concepts from queer geographers and other scholars, particularly those who address capitalism (Gibson-Graham, Massey), this research outlines a methodology of performance analysis that looks through a queer lens in order to destabilize normative assumptions about Atlantic Canada. Three contemporary performances are studied in detail: Christian Barry, Ben Caplan, and Hannah Moscovitch's Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, Ryan Griffith's The Boat, and Xavier Gould‘s digital personality ―Jass-Sainte Bourque‖. Combining Ric Knowles' "dramaturgy of the perverse" (The Theatre of Form 1999) with Sara Ahmed's "queer phenomenology" (Queer Phenomenology 2006) allows for a thorough queer analysis of these three performances. I argue that such an approach positions new Atlantic Canadian performances and dramaturgies as sites of aesthetic and semantic disorientation. Building on Jill Dolan's "utopian performatives" (Utopia in Performance 2005), wherein the audiences experience a collective "lifting above" of normative dramaturgical structures, my use of "queer phenomenology" fosters a plurality of unique perspectives.

  • Island-Wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to Take Place August 12Th-15Th Weekend; Souris to Host
    Press Release For Immediate Publication Island-wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to take Place August 12th-15th Weekend; Souris to Host SUMMERSIDE (P.E.I.) – Friday, August 8th, 2016 – The president of la Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin (SSTA), Guy Labonté, invites one and all to join the Acadian and francophone community of P.E.I. in celebrating National Acadian Day activities which will take place all across the Island on the weekend of August 12th-15th. The SSTA wishes a wonderful National Acadian Day to all! In 1881, at the first Convention of the Acadians, it was decided that August 15th would thereafter be observed as National Acadian Day. This day was chosen for many reasons, namely because as a distinct people, Acadians deserve to have a day of recognition; the later summer date does not conflict with seed-sowing commitments; and it coincides with the Assumption of Mary, patron saint of Acadians. Souris, this year’s host Region – provincial celebrations – Saturday, August 13th to Sunday, August 14th : La Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin, in collaboration with le Comité Acadien et Francophone de l'Est, invites the public to a number of free activities in the name of National Acadian Day and le Festival Acadien from August 13th to 14th. Saturday, August 13th, there will be a traditional Kitchen Party from 6 to 9 p.m. Cover is $5 per person and includes access to concerts featuring Island musicians Anastasia DesRoches, Mylène Ouellette, JJ Chaisson & Les étoiles de l'Est. There will also be traditional Acadian dishes such as fricot (Acadian chicken soup) and an Acadian roll.

    Raising the Bar: The Reciprocal Roles and Deviant Distinctions of Music and Alcohol in Acadiana by © Marion MacLeod A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Ethnomusicology Memorial University of Newfoundland June, 2013 St. John 's, Newfoundland ABSTRACT The role of alcohol in musical settings is regularly relegated to that of incidental by­ stander, but its pervasive presence as object, symbol or subject matter in Acadian and Cajun performance contexts highlights its constructive capacity in the formation of Acadian and Cajun musical worlds. Individual and collective attitudes towards alcohol consumption implicate a wide number of cultural domains which, in this work, include religious display, linguistic development, respect for social conventions, and the historically-situated construction of identities. This research uses alcohol as an interpretive lens for ethnomusicological understanding and, in so doing, questions the binaries of marginal and mainstream, normal and deviant, sacred and profane, traditional and contemporary, sober and inebriated. Attitudes towards alcohol are informed by, and reflected in, all ofthese cultural conflicts, highlighting how agitated such categorizations can be in lived culture. Throughout the dissertation, I combine the historical examples of HatTy Choates and Cy aMateur with ethnographic examinations of culturally-distinct perfonnative habits, attitudes toward Catholicism, and compositional qualities. Compiling often incongruous combinations of discursive descriptions and enacted displays, my research suggests that opposition actually confirms interdependence. Central to this study is an assertion that levels of cultural competence in Cajun Louisiana and Acadian Nova Scotia are uneven and that the repercussions of this unevenness are musically and behaviourally demonstrated.

  • Winter 2021 Newsletter
    WINTER Les Guédry et Petitpas d’Asteur 2021 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 1 GENERATIONS Our Winter 2021 edition of Generations highlights the Acadians of Massachusetts. If traveling to Massachu- setts, be sure to review the many sites there that have an Acadian connection. I found it amazing that a carved powder horn given as a gift by Acadians to a British farmer has survived to this day. Read about this group of Acadians expelled to Andover, MA and their relationship with Jonathan Abbott and the unique gift he re- ceived. In the Summer 2020 (Vol. 18 No. 2) issue of Generations we discussed the many museums and historic villages across the world that displayed our Acadian heritage. As expected, we did not capture every museum. Al Pettipas of Dartmouth, NS added another museum to our list – the Amos Seaman School Museum in Minudie, Nova Scotia near Amherst. Built in 1840 by Amos Seaman as a one-room school for his children and those of his tenants – likely including some Acadians. He also built the historic Unitarian and Catholic Churches on either side of the school. The museum contains many historic artifacts and documents preserving the history of the Minudie community which was an Acadian settlement from 1672 – 1755. In addition to documents identifying the Acadian residents in Minudie before 1755, the museum contains an original Acadi- an aboiteau found in the Minudie area in 1989, the original desks and furniture of the school and a model of an Acadian house. The museum is open in July and August from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm, seven days a week.

  • The Catholic Church and Havre Boucher
    The Catholic Church and Havre Boucher At the very beginning of this historical outline, prepared on the occasion of the centenary of the establishment of Saint Paul’s Parish, Havre Boucher, I wish to make it know how much I am indebted to Re. Doctor A. Anthony Johnston, Diocesan Historian, whose scholarly research has made it a slight chore indeed for all those, who, like myself may wish, in the future, to publish an authentic record of the ecclesiastical history of any part of the Diocese of Antigonish. St. Paul’s Parish, Havre Boucher, is a daughter of Arichat in Isle Madame; and next of Tracadie our neighbour parish to the West. As to its first inhabitants and origin of its name, the record of most consequence is the diary of the great Bishop Plessis of Quebec who in 1812 conducted a visitation of The Maritime Provinces, which were at that time a part of the vast diocese of Quebec. From Bishop Plessis’ Diary August 4, 1812: “Their departure from Arichat took place the next day, before five o’clock in the morning in a fairly large rowboat. All the oarsmen were worn out with fatigue because they had to row against the wind and tide until evening. The sun had set when the boat arrived at Havre a Boucher on the Nova Scotian coast. This is an entirely new settlement, which takes its name from Captain Francois Boucher, of Quebec, a man still living, who was overtaken on this coast by the winter of 1759, and spent the winter there, more than fifty years ago.
