== Tourism and culture == [[Image:Tracadie-Sheila église.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste and Saint-Joseph in Tracadie-Sheila]]Located on the [[Acadian Peninsula]], the area has a number of sandy beaches. Val-Comeau, the most popular, is protected as a Provincial Park. The beaches can usually be enjoyed from June until September, when the water is a moderate temperature. Signage is in French, as most inhabitants of the Acadian Peninsula are predominantly [[francophone|French speaking]]. The community became known as the hometown of [[Wilfred Le Bouthillier]], winner of the 2003 [[Quebec]] reality show ''[[Star Académie]]''. The success of the young singer, known simply as Wilfred, resulted in a significant rise in tourism to the region. The town is also home to pop singer [[Jean-François Breau]]. Well-known [[AIDS]] activist [[Réjean Thomas|Dr. Réjean Thomas]] and opera singer [[Michèle Losier]], (both now residing in [[Montreal]]), are from the neighbouring village of [[Saint-Isidore, New Brunswick|St-Isidore]], part of the greater Tracadie area.
