the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the "how was your week" thread isn't a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples' posts aren't getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don't gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this'll be a good way of getting to know all the people you're now on here with

Here's their about page. I just kinda skimmed it. Seems to be open to any francophone in the province, as well as newcomers who either speak French or speak neither French nor English and exchange students who speak French.

I would say that it's because of the grand dérangement that the term acadien is used in the name, so that those who are still here have the right to education in French, not that one necessarily has to be Acadian to go to a CSAP school. There's also Mi'kmaq immersion in at least some of the schools on reservations, and I believe there's a Gaelic immersion school somewhere in Cape Breton. Pretty neat that there's this push for language/cultural reclamation.

That makes sense.

Really surprising there's Gaelic immersion, I kinda assumed it was essentially no longer taught even in Ireland. Cool stuff!
