Organizations

Established in September 1914, l’Académie Taché was a literary circle for students pursuing classical studies at Le Petit Séminaire (Minor Seminary) in St. Boniface. The students met on a monthly basis to present speeches and debate a variety of topics, many of which were of a religious, historical or philosophical nature. They also debated some current issues such as war and prohibition. The literary circle ceased to exist in November 1922 after fire destroyed St. Boniface College and Le Petit Séminaire opened its doors to accept the College’s students. Thereafter the two academic institutions became one, known by the name of Le Collège de Saint-Boniface, and the much larger student population founded new clubs and organizations.
