**Reimagining Montreal: Circus Magic and Cultural Investments Shine in Budget 2024 Spotlight**
Montreal, June 26, 2024 – Beneath the vibrant sky of Montreal, a dazzling array of circus performers and artists will soon cast their spell across the city, illuminating streets, parks, and even sidewalks with their gravity-defying feats. In a momentous announcement today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, unveiled a $31 million investment over two years for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund.
Among the beneficiaries is TOHU, a renowned performing arts theatre in Montreal, and the enchanting Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque whose circus programs will captivate audiences for 11 days. This celebration of talent and creativity not only showcases Montreal’s rich cultural tapestry but also bolsters the city’s status as a global nucleus of circus arts.
“This investment is a testament to our unwavering support for the arts and culture sector, a driving force of our economy,” Minister Marc Miller expressed. “By backing TOHU and our local artists, we are not only fostering creativity but also igniting tourism, creating jobs, and uplifting our communities in profound ways.”
The spirited echoes of gratitude were mirrored by Stéphane Lavoie, General and Programming Director of TOHU, who emphasized the essential role of cultural patronage in amplifying Montreal’s cultural prowess. “This vital support will illuminate our path forward, empowering us to continue shining as an international beacon of circus arts,” Lavoie remarked.
Moreover, Patricia Lattanzio, MP of Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, hailed the far-reaching impact of projects like the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque in bolstering community vitality and prosperity. “When our government invests in initiatives that merge artistry and community engagement, the entire fabric of our society is enriched,” Lattanzio remarked.
Beyond the realm of arts and culture, Budget 2024 heralds a wave of transformative initiatives to nurture safer, healthier communities and advocate for tax fairness. The government’s pledge to reduce the capital gains tax advantage propels a vision where 4 million homes are constructed, dental care is accessible to all Canadians, and child care costs as little as $10 a day.
As the glittering curtains rise on Montreal’s spectacular showcase of circus enchantment, a new era of cultural vibrancy and economic growth unfolds, painting a vivid tableau of shared prosperity and bound
