Grande-Digue, New Brunswick
Grande-Digue (2001 pop.: approx. 3,000) is a Canadian community in Kent County, New Brunswick.
Located in Dundas Parish, Grande-Digue is bordered by Shediac Bay and Cocagne Bay, as well as the Northumberland Strait.
The community is predominantly Acadian in culture, and Acadian French is the most widely-spoken language. However, due to the large number of summer tourists and cottagers, English is also spoken by virtually the entire population.
Following the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, many Acadians found refuge in Grande-Digue. They did not receive land grants until 1791. [1]
École Grande-Digue is the only school located in Grande-Digue. It is a K-8 school and is part of School District 11.
