Saint Boniface

The francophone Saint-Boniface Section was founded in 1993, offering rock and ice climbing, hiking and mountaineering in Manitoba. The safe practice of these activities and the protection of different climbing sites are a priority. In addition, the Section offers various programs and services designed to empower people in the practice of outdoor activities in the mountains.
