Stephane Wild: French-speaking Western Canada

Manitoba, Canada Dept: WINNIPEG - It was from a 2003 magazine ad that Stephane Wild first learned about a place called Manitoba. A year later, he was living there, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "There was an ad that said they were looking for tradespeople and craftsmen to come to Manitoba, Canada, along with a telephone number. And so we called that number," said Wild, a chef, as he sat in his restaurant in the city's French quarter, the heart of French-speaking Western Canada and stephane Wild, a French immigrant who runs a restaurant in Winnipeg's French quarter of St. Boniface is photographed Friday, October 5, 2012.
