Stephane Wild: Winnipeg Community

Manitoba Dept: Now, eight years after Wild and his wife Sophie packed up their home in the Alsace region of northern France and set out for their unlikely Prairie destination, the pair is thriving in the Winnipeg community of St. Boniface and so is their mother tongue, according to The Star. The ad belonged to an economic development council that represents Manitoba s French-speaking communities. They followed up with a trade mission to the region that included some of Manitoba s most senior politicians and 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. There was an ad that said they were looking for tradespeople and craftsmen to come to Manitoba, Canada, along with a telephone number.
