francophone scrabble
the scrabble-like board game invented by mcdonald is documented by various sources, including the province of new brunswick website, the new brunswick book of everything, and new brunswick facts, firsts & innovations. it was only in 2014, when pierre cormier, a member of the chamber of commerce for the town of shediac, initiated a search that eventually lead to the find of the patents themselves. until then, the connection with the crossword game with the small town of shediac had remained untold. in 2016, the town of shediac would pay homage to mcdonald by organizing several activities to celebrate the 90th anniversary of his crossword game. the chamber of commerce commissioned a narrative painting of the inventor and his game that was created by canadian artist alvin richard. during a press conference held on june 8, 2016 in shediac, john chew, co-president of the north american scrabble players association announced that hasbro, the current owner of the scrabble game would be supplying a large number of games to the town to demonstrate their support for their initiative. many scrabble related activities were revealed for the summer and fall of 2016. the town of shediac would go on to form the first certified scrabble club in the atlantic provinces, and hosted an international scrabble tournament from september 30 to october 2 with mr chew presiding over the event. the first tournament was won by jackson smylie of toronto, a co-winner of the north american scrabble championship for student in 2011. on september 17, shediac hosted a roaring 1920s gatsby themed night in conjunction with scrabble related activities, highlighting the flapper fashion period when mcdonald's game was invented. shediac is known as the lobster capitol of the world and has recently claimed the title of the scrabble capitol of canada. giant black and white letter tiles spelling "shediac" was installed at the western entrance of the town alongside the 90-ton sculpture called (perhaps inaccurately) "the world's largest lobster."
