Mayor Maxime Bourgeois says the policy confirms French as the working language for staff, council and committees, and also requires an effort be made to have contracted services delivered in French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same meeting, the village council also passed first reading of a new commercial signage by-law which will require the presence of French on new commercial signs in the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bourgeois says the by-law could bring about changes to the linguistic landscape of the community, which will help people \u201crecognize the Francophone and Acadian characteristics of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, says Bourgeois, \u201cmost of the signs are unfortunately in English only, even though all the business owners are Francophone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The by-law will take some time to have an effect, as it will apply only to new signs, and signs being replaced for other reasons. But the village will also offer a temporary financial incentive to encourage existing businesses to add French to their signs sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bourgeois says the demographics of the town have been shifting slowly to include more Anglophones, with the 2021 census counting 23% of residents identifying English as their first language. But the recent shift is not necessarily the motivation for the proposed by-law. Bourgeois says he\u2019s long thought that a commercial sign by-law was a good idea for the village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen I was at university, Dieppe was talking about having a by-law to regulate their commercial signs,\u201d recalls Bourgeois. \u201cI thought Memramcook, my hometown, should have done that at that point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bourgeois says the by-law and policy come out of discussions surrounding the village\u2019s strategic priorities in 2023, when the celebration of Acadian identify was chosen as one of the main pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sign by-law is similar to those in other majority Acadian communities, and Bourgeois says there hasn&#8217;t been much controversy over its proposal.  \u201cThe biggest discussion was around whether or not we forced this on current businesses within the next five years,\u201d says Bourgeois. But councillors considered the high cost of some commercial signage, and decided \u201cwe don&#8217;t want to impose that financial burden, until they decide to change their own signs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bourgeois says businesses with English names won\u2019t face an issue, as the French rule will apply to descriptors and not company names. There\u2019s also a grandfather clause, which allows current businesses to continue using their established signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The by-law will now go through a public hearing process before council approves second and third reading. The mayor says that he hasn\u2019t heard any negative feedback so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI hope that there won&#8217;t be any backlash or any anybody against this,\u201d says Bourgeois. \u201cI mean, if you are living in Memramcook, and you move here, I would assume that it\u2019s one of the reasons, that maybe you appreciated the notably Francophone and Acadian culture and characteristic of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s really just that we want to be able to drive in Memramcook and say, okay, we&#8217;re in a French community,\u201d says Bourgeois.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The village of Memramcook is making moves to protect the French language within its boundaries.
