An iconic church is becoming the weekly hot-spot for Manitobans curious about french culture.
A local organization is seeing both the franco-curious and fluent french speakers enjoy films at an unlikely Winnipeg location: the Saint-Boniface Cathedral.
Sylvie Foidart, the Coordinator of Tourism Product Development for CDEM, says the idea to screen french films began over a year ago.
Last summer, CDEM visited communities across the province to screen films, but this year, they needed to rethink their event.
“We wanted to offer something that was community-based that is just getting people together in a safe way,” Foidart says.
