Manitoba Unions were proud sponsors of the very busy Family Area at the 2012 Winnipeg Folk Festival this past weekend.

The Family Area featured children’s music, crafts and games, helping to make the Festival a true family event for thousands of the more than 50,000 people in attendance over the 5 day event.

• Manitoba Government & General Employees Union
