About us
Entreprises Riel is a private not-for-profit organization whose mandate is to undertake and foster Francophone economic, community and tourism development initiatives in the City of Winnipeg’s Riel District (St. Boniface, St. Norbert and St. Vital) in Manitoba, Canada. Corporate leaders from all three communities make up Riel’s Board of Directors.
Part of Riel’s mandate is being a leader and facilitator for the various organizations and businesses that contribute to economic and community development in the district. Acting as a catalyst, Riel assembles such entities in common economic projects and undertakings, always with a view of demonstrating how bilingualism represents a value-added commodity to the City of Winnipeg.
