In April 1993, in order to more accurately reflect the image of French-Canadian folklore and to enhance the combined spirit of the musicians, singers and dancers, "Les Danseurs de la Riviere-Rouge Inc." modified their name. The company is henceforth named "L'Ensemble Folklorique de la Riviere-Rouge Folk Ensemble Inc.".
