Food and Culture at St. Boniface Summer Market

Summer has begun! For many, this summer is the first time in two years that they have had the opportunity to go back and meet each other in person. This opportunity has also breathed life back into Manitoban summer markets. One such market is the St. Boniface Summer Market, organized by the Economic Development Council for Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (CDEM).

Joey Landriot, Employee, Economic Development Council for Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (CDEM). Landriot tells us about the St. Boniface Summer Market in detail, including the duration and operations and the weekly agenda it offers its visitors. Landriot explained the importance of the market to Winnipeg and surrounding communities, especially to newcomers who find a great opportunity to learn about local Canadian industries and how newcomers can find inspiration to start their own business one day in Winnipeg.

"Civic Platform" interviewed some market participants who spoke about the importance of participation and how the market is an opportunity to meet customers directly and to explain their products personally.
