In 2020 Manitoba celebrated its 150th birthday. French has been spoken in Manitoba since its inception as a province and long before that. Today we explore the fascinating and tumultuous history of French in Manitoba, to guide us on this historical tour we’ve invited the historian Jacqueline Blay. This pod­cast is co-hosted by executive producers André Marchildon, a Franco-Manitoban, and Ian T. D. Thomson, a born and raised Winnipegger who grew up speaking only English. The music in Beyond Riel comes from Franco-Manitoban artist Rayannah. The series is sponsored by la Société de la francophonie manitobaine and sup­ported by a Taking It Global grant.
