Saint-François-Xavier

Tucked along the Assiniboine River on Manitoba’s prairie west of Winnipeg, Saint-François-Xavier is a community whose character is shaped by the river’s broad floodplain and surrounding farmland. The settlement grew from a French Canadian and Métis community, and its name recalls the Catholic parish dedicated to Francis Xavier. Level agricultural land and wide horizons place it firmly in southern Manitoba’s river country, while Winnipeg is the nearest major urban centre. The Assiniboine has long connected communities across southwestern Manitoba before joining the Red River in Winnipeg.
