Grand Pré is also testimony to the history of the Acadians in the 17th and 18th centuries and their deportation. Grand Pré forms a vast area of polders or marshlands, in which the land division and crop farming methods have continued for three centuries. Criterion (vi): Grand Pré is the iconic place of remembrance of the Acadian diaspora, dispersed by the Grand Dérangement, in the second half of the 18th century. It involves a series of specialist entities, either public, such as the Federal Parks Canada, provincial, or traditional bodies such as the Grand Pré Marsh Body. The property’s memorial dimension is handled by the Société Promotion Grand Pré.
