Saint Alphonse is a small English speaking Belgian community in the province of Manitoba, Canada.
The village of Saint Alphonse was founded in the early 1880s by immigrants mainly from Belgium and some from Quebec.
Other Belgian immigrants settled further north and founded the village of Bruxelles.
It hosted Belgian children of whom two-thirds were Walloons and from Brussels and a third of Flemish origin.
The children were redirected to Anglophone schools in the nearby towns of Swan Lake and Bruxelles, Manitoba.
