Blue, white and red are the colours of Acadia’s flag. The star of Mary, the Stella Maris, represents hope and is the main symbol of Acadia. It also stands for the Acadian heritage of the Boudreau families. The red also refers to the arms of Charles de Menou d’Aulnay de Charnisay, Seigneur of Port-Royal in Acadia, who bore Gules a bend Or. The anchor illustrates the historical links of the Boudreaus with the sea. The crown topping the anchor recalls the colony of Port-Royal where the first ancestor, Michel Boudreau, and his wife, Michelle Aucoin, settled c.1639. The pioneer couple, so to speak, “dropped anchor” in the New World to establish a family. The crown is decorated with eleven fleurs-de-lis representing their eleven children. The fleurs-de-lis also symbolize French presence in Acadia. The scales recall the function of judge exercised by Michel Boudreau as lieutenant-general for civil and criminal affairs at Port-Royal. | Blue, white and red are the colours of Acadia’s flag.
