An Acadian Heirloom - Lisette's Story

Date: 04/11/2019

Who would think a chamber pot could have such significance, but it does for Lisette Mallet. She talks about what it represented for her parents who were able, just after World War II, to secure their own house and begin the process of leaving behind the grinding poverty of their childhood on New Brunswick's  Acadian peninsula. As Lisette observes, her own children have no idea what it means to have nothing, but she hopes the chamber pot might serve as a reminder.
