Jeudis Franco Thursdays in St. Boniface (Archives)

The Jeudis Franco Thursdays (Francophonie Thursdays) is an initiative from CDEM in collaboration with Tourisme Riel that marks the St. Boniface region as the must-see destination for cultural activities every  Thursday this summer from June 2 to August 25, 2022. The Jeudis Franco Thursdays ultimately aims to develop summer programming led by organizations and businesses in Saint-Boniface, in conjunction with Provencher Biz and Norwood Biz.
