Lacombe, Louisiana, to Lacombe, Alberta

In 1999, ten citizens from Canada's "Lacombe" came to celebrate the three hundred anniversary of the establishment of Louisiana as a French colony. The village of Lacombe initiated the "twinning" as a "FrancoFete" activity of Louisiana's Tricentennial Celebration - the state of Louisiana and the province of Alberta. An ongoing association between the state of Louisiana and the province of Alberta, Canada, as "Twin" regions was established. In what ways are the two Lacombes similar and in what ways are they different? Close historical ties exist between the two and to a certain extent their history is chronologically parallel. This book reveals those fascinating histories.
