It was a time for celebrating culture and tradition at the French Winter Carnival on the weekend.
The event known as “Carnaval d’hiver,” organized by Centre Francophone des Battleford, is an annual tradition in the community.
Director Véronique Bernier said there was a good turnout of around 45 people for the event at the Don Ross Arena on March 12.
“We do offer things throughout the year to give an opportunity for the French community to get together and be able to do [activities] in French — to practice their French or to help their kids have French activities outside of school,” she said.
