History

In February 2008, the Friends of the St-Malo Provincial Park became partners with Festival du Voyageur. Mavis Tailleu met with the board to review strategy for a 4 season park. An idea was to start a winter festival to make a large impression. The following year Friends of the St-Malo Park negotiated a partnership agreement with Festival du Voyageur. This partnership helped to promote the "Festival" Joie de Vivre in the rural french community of St-Malo and the surrounding region.

The purpose of the St-Malo Festival of Friends is to spread the Joie de Vivre and re-live the culture of the era. It is a way of promoting french/bilingual artists and make the bilingual aspect of the Province a major economic force and an asset of our province. The Friends of the St-Malo Park have the opportunity to promote the park's winter activities such as cross country skiing, tobagganing, skating and snowshoeing.
