Today is Louis Riel Day, and we're encouraging health-care workers, and all Manitobans, to get out and celebrate Louis Riel’s vision and learn more about the contributions of Louis Riel and Métis peoples to our province. Louis Riel was the Métis leader of the Red River Resistance of 1869-70 and was the driving force behind Manitoba becoming Canada’s fifth province. His dream of a province that embraces all cultures is still shared by Manitobans today.

February is Heart Month so we’re shining a light on the incredible work of the team at Cardiac Sciences at St. Boniface Hospital—where life-saving care meets powerful stories of resilience.

📸✨ Winnipeg lens-based artist, Charles Romero Venzon shared his deeply personal connection to heart health through last years' exhibit, Cardially Yours. His father’s life was saved at St. Boniface Hospital in 1996 after a heart attack, and his stunning images capture the human story behind the work of staff and physicians.

The work was commissioned by hannah_g, Curator and Director of Galerie Buhler Gallery and funded by the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation.

Watch the video to see how art, family and medicine come together in this moving tribute. 🎥💖
