Precious Blood Catholic Church
(affectionately known as the cork screw)

Built in 1967 this spiral-roofed church is the best-known building by Franco-Manitoban architect Etienne Gaboury. Gaboury's work is ubiquitous in the French Quarter, and includes the St. Boniface Police Station, the student centre at the Coll�ge universitaire de Saint-Boniface, the new Provencher Bridge and Esplanade Riel.

	Apr 06 2008 17:26 GMT jamers Nice picture, the roof looks like Swedish architecture. St. Boniface police station is that the name of the same saint Bonifacius murdered near Dokkum, Friesland in the Netherlands? November 11 is the day for children to go around the doors of houses in the neighboorhood for a good treat. Candy for a song while showing their handmade lantern.
