Gov­er­nance

The Saint-Boniface Museum Board, first estab­lished by the City of St. Boni­face in late 1959, now func­tions under the author­ity of the City of Win­nipeg. Upon the amal­ga­ma­tion of Win­nipeg with St. Boni­face and other sur­round­ing munic­i­pal­i­ties in 1972, the Board’s “con­tin­u­a­tion” was spec­i­fied in the City of Win­nipeg Act; the Board is still referred to in the char­ter of the City.

As presently con­sti­tuted, the Board con­sists of eight cit­i­zen mem­bers and one coun­cil­lor, all of whom are appointed for two-year terms by city coun­cil, fol­low­ing nom­i­na­tions sought on an annual basis. Any City of Win­nipeg elec­tor who is func­tional in both offi­cial lan­guages is eli­gi­ble for appoint­ment to the Board.
