We know that members of the francophone community cherish the buildings located at 219 Provencher Blvd. (Saint-Boniface City Hall) and 212 Dumoulin St. (Saint-Boniface Fire Hall No. 1). These buildings are symbols of francophone culture and history. 

City offices are no longer needed in these buildings and we are asking the community to help determine their future.

    On May 30, 2024, Council cancelled the surplus declaration of 219 and 233 boulevard Provencher and 212 rue Dumoulin. The City will look at long-term lease opportunities instead of selling the properties.

    The City will set up a board named the Carré Civique de Saint-Boniface Board. The Board will help the City come up with criteria to evaluate lease proposals. The criteria will need to be supported by the Carré Civique de Saint-Boniface Board and approved by the Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development.

    Full details from the May 30, 2024 Council meeting are now available.
