The FLS Unit is excited to share some joyful highlights from our recent staff ticket giveaway for Folklorama – Pavillon canadien-français! A few lucky SH-SS staff members won a pair of tickets to this vibrant celebration, where they enjoyed an unforgettable evening immersed in the rich traditions, authentic flavors, and festive spirit of Manitoba’s Francophone community.

“My daughter and I attended yesterday evening and it was a great show!

We enjoyed the vibrant richness of the French Canadian culture and the toe tapping lively sound of the fiddle music that filled the air. The talented musicians and dancers of the Ensemble Folklorique de la Rivière-Rouge bring tradition to life. With their high energy dancing and music, to engaging with the audience in a song, this Folklorama Pavilion is a truly an enjoyable experience!”

Thank you,
Grace Gillam – Hôpital Ste-Anne Hospital

To enter the draw, staff were asked to share three reasons why they wanted to attend this amazing cultural event—and the responses we received were thoughtful, heartfelt, and full of appreciation for the unique experience Folklorama offers.
