The Highway Through Nowhere

Today, class, we will present a Nova Scotia geography lesson.
If you look at a map of our province, you will notice that almost all of our cities and towns are located along the sea.
History will tell you that Nova Scotia was settled by people who arrived from the sea, the basis of our original transportation system, and that includes a series of navigable rivers and even canals.
The provincial roadmaps show that our major land routes follow the sea coasts:

-- Highway 101, from Halifax to Yarmouth, follows the contour of the Annapolis Valley, from Windsor to Digby, and the “French Shore" for the rest of the way.
-- Highway 102, from Halifax to Truro, however, is a completely “non-coastal” route.
-- Highway 103, from Halifax to Yarmouth, follows the South Shore region.

Bonne fête!

Demain, nous autres -- les Acadiens et Acadiennes, d'ici, de chez nous, et de partout au monde -- nous célébrons notre Fête nationale.

C'est l'occasion de faire un grand 'Tantamarre,' pour proclamer: 'Asteure q'on est l à, c'est pour y rester!'
C'est aussi la fête de l'Assomption de la Vièrge Marie, 'Stella Maris,' notre Patronne.
Félicitations, et bonne fête, cousins et cousines!

Tomorrow, we -- Acadians, from here, from home, and from all over the world -- we celebrate our National Day.
It's time to make a 'Loud Noise,' to proclaim: 'Now that we're here (this time), we're staying!'
It's also the Feast Day of the Assumption of Mary, the Ocean Star, our Patronness.
Congratulations, have a great Acadian Day, cousins!
