Historic Sites of Manitoba: St. Boniface Cathedral Cemetery (Taché Avenue, Winnipeg)

Western Canada’s oldest Catholic cemetery, the St. Boniface Cathedral Cemetery, is the final resting place for Louis Riel and many of the West’s first Catholic settlers, key figures and missionaries. A marker on the north side of the cemetery denotes the burial location of voyageur J.-B. Lagimodière and his wife Marie Anne Gaboury.
