A new pathway is open for Winnipeggers to use in St. Vital.
The Sentier Gabriel Dufault pathway starts on the north side of John Bruce Road, about 100 metres east of St. Anne's road.
Dufault was a passionate advocate for French people in Manitoba. Coun. Brian Mayes said, even though Dufault passed away last year, he knew about the plan to build the path.
"I came out here a few years ago and I saw a sign saying future site of trail, and I started asking some questions and I found out it was city land and no one had ever built the trail," said Mayes.
Dufault’s family said the path is more meaningful than a plaque because Dufault loved being in nature.
