After the Escuminac Disaster
En juin 1959, la flottille de pêche partie du quai d’Escuminac, dans le nord-est du Nouveau-Brunswick, fut frappée par un ouragan qui causa la mort de 35 hommes. Le désastre d’Escuminac, l’une des pires catastrophes de l’histoire de la province à s’être produites dans le cadre du travail, engendra de grandes difficultés pour les personnes à charge que ces pêcheurs laissèrent derrière eux et dont les ressources étaient limitées. En réponse, des dirigeants de la province, tant laïques que religieux, constituèrent Le fonds de secours du désastre maritime du Nouveau-Brunswick. Les administrateurs du fonds, pour la plupart des anglophones bien nantis, eurent du mal à comprendre les stratégies de survie employées par les familles, qui étaient pauvres et dont bon nombre étaient acadiennes.
In June 1959, the fishing fleet leaving from the wharf at Escuminac in northeastern New Brunswick was struck by a hurricane resulting in the deaths of 35 men. The Escuminac Disaster was one of the worst work-related disasters in the province’s history, creating a significant challenge for dependents left behind with limited resources. In response, provincial leaders – both secular and religious – created the New Brunswick Fishermen’s Disaster Fund. The administrators of the fund, mostly well-to-do and English-speaking, exhibited great difficulty in understanding the survival strategies employed by families, all of whom were poor and many of whom were Acadian.

The Hidden Life of Monuments: Reflections from the Lost Stories Project
Historians, educators, artists, and filmmakers work together to develop the Lost Stories Project, which seeks from the public little-known stories from the Canadian past, gives these stories to artists who transform them into inexpensive pieces of public art on appropriate sites, and documents the artists' creative process through the production of short films. Here, Rudin discusses the controversies surrounding monuments as those dedicated to Confederate heroes in the American South have dealt only superficially with these structures and have largely ignored the context in which they were erected in the first place.

Making Kouchibouguac
Abstract
The documentary film Kouchibouguac, released by the Office national du film (ONF) in 1979, allowed Acadians – who had been removed from their lands to allow the creation of the national park of the same name – to tell their stories. This article explores the making of the film, with a particular focus upon the difficulties experienced by Acadians trying to find their voice within the Québécois-dominated ONF. It also reflects on the form of the film as well as the impact that it had within an Acadian population that was divided over the sporadically violent opposition to the park.

Epilogue
Just as there was debate as to when the tercentenary really began, so too was there some question as to when it ended. For the overwhelming majority of the roughly 200,000 people, counting both residents and tourists, who had been crammed into Quebec City in late July, this was a rather straightforward question: the final events on the program took place on the last day of the month. By then the Prince of Wales had already headed home, along with the navies, soldiers, dignitaries, and visitors from four countries. The return to ‘normal’ life was signalled by one of the
