Spring into history with Western Canada's oldest history organization for an evening of festive friendship, comfort food, and historic fun!
The night begins as you're greeted by the Members of St. Boniface living history group, La Compagnie de La Vérendrye dressed in the traditional colonial uniforms of 18th century New France, as they re-enact the lives of the soldiers and voyageurs who accompanied the explorer Pierre Gaultier de Varennes, Sieur de La Vérendrye, to find a route to the Western Sea in the 1730s.
Try your hand at Hatchet Throwing within the pallisade, along with some Voyageur games before the dinner bell rings. A musket salute by our friends from La Compagnie de La Vérendrye will signal that its time to gather inside, and take a seat for our welcome.
Enjoy a hearty Fort Gibraltar buffet, with entertainment by a local Metis Musical duo playing fiddle and guitar.
