Lonely Planet review for Musée des Soeurs Grises

Dedicated to Ste Marguerite d’Youville, founder of the community of the Sisters of Charity, better known as the Grey Nuns, this museum has a small but wonderfully presented set of exhibits. The sisters set out by canoe and founded a mission in what was to become Manitoba in western Canada in 1850. Folk legend has it that the nuns sold moonshine to the Aboriginals, getting them gris (grey) or tipsy. Tours of the museum in French and English are available by appointment only.
