| HISTORY |
| In 1898, the Sisters of the
Holy Name of Jesus and Mary received this site from the Archbishop
of St. Boniface and built the first St. Joseph’s Academy.
The Oblate Fathers purchased the building in 1913 and it became
“Le Juniorat de la Sainte-Famille”. It was demolished
in 1971 to permit the construction of the new Centre culturel franco-manitobain
according to the plans of the architect Étienne Gaboury.
The CCFM, a Manitoba Crown Corporation, was incorporated in 1972
and opened its doors on January 25, 1974.
|
| MISSION STATEMENT |
| The corporation's mandate is to present, promote, foster and sponsor cultural and artistic activities in the French language for all Manitobans. |
| TEMPLE DE LA RENOMMÉE DE LA CULTURE (FRANCOPHONE
CULTURAL HALL OF FAME) |
|
The
Hall of Fame (situated in the entry foyer of the CCFM) recognizes
the enormous contributions of individuals who have dedicated
a great part of their lives to the evolution of the cultural
sector in the francophone community. |
