This plaque celebrates 100 years since a group of Acadian families settled in Hâvre-Saint-Pierre.
The plaque on the monument states (translated from French):
Tributes to the Pioneers of Hâvre-Saint-Pierre
[20 surnames of founding families]
From the young people of the parish
In 1857, a group of Acadian families from the Magdalen Islands (in the Gulf of St. Lawrence), who had previously been deported from Savannah (Georgia, USA), settled on Eskimo Point. The first mass was held on June 29, 1857, day of the feast of Saint Peter.
The community is still proud of its Acadian heritage. Acadian flags flap all around, street signs have Acadian symbols, and the dialect closely resembles Acadian French.

Pars les jeune gens de la paroisse
En 1857, un groupe de familles acadiennes des Îles-de-la-Madeleine (dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent), qui avait déjà été expulsé de Savannah (Géorgie, États-Unis), s'installa à Eskimo Point. La première messe eut lieu le 29 juin 1857, jour de la fête de Saint Pierre.
La communauté est toujours fière de son héritage acadien. Les drapeaux acadiens battent tout autour, les panneaux de rue ont des symboles acadiens et le dialecte ressemble beaucoup au français acadien.
