The ceinture fléchée, a sash keeping the tradition alive
A seasoned festival-goer would never leave home without donning a sash. Also known widely by its French name, ceinture fléchée, the sash has become a perennial symbol of Métis and Franco-Manitoban culture.
A historical and cultural journey waiting to be discovered
The Dawson Trail is a vestige of the past that runs through several Francophone communities in southeastern Manitoba.

Borealis Beading or the art of combining passion and transmission
Mélanie Gamache is passionate about beading, a skill that has its origins in Métis culture. With her company in Sainte-Geneviève, Borealis Beading, the craftswoman offers workshops related to her passion.
A small museum that tells a rich history
The St. Boniface Museum is located at 494 Taché Avenue. It plays a dual role of guardian and ambassador. For Vania Gagnon, the Museum’s Director, the roles coincide perfectly with the Museum’s community vocation.
