This basilica, Mother Church of Western Canada, is a place of worship, one of the greatest emblems of the City of Winnipeg, a popular tourist attraction, as well as a major architectural and artistic symbol in St. Boniface, Winnipeg, and Manitoba.

Subsequent to an engineering evaluation of the existing structure major structural deficiencies were identified that need immediate repair in order to ensure this historic building can be preserved and protected for future generations.

The total cost of the renewal and renovation project is estimated at 6.0 million dollars.
