Historique
Le Petit Courrier was founded in 1937 by a board of 12 directors in order to provide the people of southwest Nova Scotia with an opportunity to read French. It began as one page of local news. The Digby Courier printed the first copy on February 10, 1937. By May, the Yarmouth Herald had taken over the task of printing Le Petit Courrier. It continued to be printed in Yarmouth until it was moved to West Pubnico in January 1939. Le Petit Courrier was printed and published in West Pubnico for the next thirty years. In 1970-1971, the Acadian Federation of Nova Scotia purchased Le Petit Courrier to use as a means of communication. The company L'imprimerie Lescarbot Ltée bought the newspaper and its name was changed to Le Petit Courrier de la Nouvelle-Écosse. In October 1977, the name was changed again to its current name Le Courrier de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Its new mandate was to develop links between the francophone and Acadian communities of Nova Scotia and to promote their interests. In 1987, the Féderation Francophone (Acadienne) de la Nouvelle-Écosse became the new owner of Le Courrier de la Nouvelle-Écosse.
