  • COMMUNITY LEADS: Profiles of PEI Community Development Works in Progress
    COMMUNITY LEADS: Profiles of PEI Community Development Works in Progress he following articles were written by Yvette Doucette in early 2002 as part of a research project on Community Capacity Building, led by the Institute of Island Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island. The articles profile rural development initiatives in various stages of development, representing all rural regions of Prince Edward Island. Yvette Doucette, 2002 EXPOSITION AGRICOLE AND FESTIVAL ACADIEN The Evangeline region is renowned for its volunteerism and its community spirit. One of the manifestations of this spirit has been alive for almost 100 years. In 1903, the Farmers' Union of Urbainville organized for the first time an exhibition, which was so successful that by 1905 all the farmers in Egmont Bay and Mont Carmel were invited to participate. In 1939 a property in Abram's Village was purchased, and over the years the boundaries of this small fair have grown to include people the Island over. The Acadian Festival was held for the first time in 1971 during the Agricultural Exhibition. It was organized for two main reasons: first, to accentuate the Acadian culture and, second, to complement the agricultural fair activities and contribute to its survival. These two organizations joined to form one body - L'Exposition Agricole et le Festival Acadien, in 1992. The organization's mission is the promotion of agricultural awareness and Acadian culture. This is the most significant celebration in the Evangeline area and the largest gathering of Acadians on PEI. It is held annually during the Labour Day weekend and as many as 15,000 visitors attend.
