LA BROQUERIE announces a new festival
A new community festival will be held in the village of La Broquerie on July 31 at the HyLife Centre. The festival, which has yet to be named, is an initiative of the La Broquerie Community Development Corporation (CDC) aimed at bringing people together to celebrate, says Richard Turenne, CDC project officer.
He explains. “Every year, La Broquerie organizes an amazing festival in June for Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, but there’s nothing after that. We wanted to create another opportunity to gather during the summer. When the weather’s nice, people want to be out and about.”
Movies Under the Stars
"Outdoor movies are becoming increasingly popular in the tourism sector,” says Roselle Turenne, CDEM’s Tourism Advisor. “It’s a new industry trend. It’s being done a lot in Australia, the States and Europe. Even here, in Winnipeg, we have Movies in the Parknights at Assiniboine Park in the summer.”
"So we thought we’d buy an inflatable movie screen and quality projection equipment so that we could share the outdoor movie experience with interested rural municipalities. We’re even hoping it’ll become a tourism vector and get people travelling to different communities for the occasion.”

The home of Gabrielle Roy is a very important and recurring symbol in the Franco-Canadian author's work. She lived there from her birth in 1909 to her departure for Europe in 1937. This house has been mentioned in many of her works, particularly in "Street of Riches" a series of stories inspired by the author's childhood in St. Boniface. Completely restored like in 1918, the house is today a must-see public museum.
