Answer: Paul D. Gallant

Jeunesse acadienne was founded to group together the Island’s young Acadians. Its purpose was to promote Acadian culture and the French language and to develop leadership among youths.

Paul D. Gallant served as president of the organization for one year and as executive director for five years. In his work with the young people, he focused on music, theater and folk dance.
