***Magical Circus Celebration: Federal Investment Brings Circus Arts to Montreal***
In a dazzling display of support for the vibrant arts and culture scene in Montreal, the federal government has announced a significant investment to bring the magic of the circus to the city. Today in Montreal, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, revealed that the government will allocate $31 million over two years for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. Among the beneficiaries of this funding are TOHU, a renowned performing arts theatre, and the captivating circus programs of the Festival Montreal Complètement Cirque.
Prepare to be mesmerized as the sparkling performers take to the stages, streets, parks, and even sidewalks of Montreal for 11 days of breathtaking acts from locally and internationally acclaimed artists. This investment not only supports the local arts community but also serves as a catalyst for job creation, tourism enhancement, and community bonding, allowing Canadians to revel in the colorful arts and culture scene that Montreal has to offer.
Minister Miller emphasized the significance of supporting cultural industries as vital contributors to the economy, enriching lives, creating jobs, boosting tourism, and bolstering local businesses. The announcement was met with enthusiasm from Stéphane Lavoie, General and Programming Director of TOHU, who highlighted the positive impact of the funding on sustaining the cultural sector. Likewise, MP Patricia Lattanzio of Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel emphasized the broader benefits of such investments on job creation and community well-being.
Beyond the realm of arts and culture, Budget 2024 aims to foster fairness for every generation through various initiatives. A key housing plan is in progress, alongside efforts to make Canada’s tax system more equitable for all. By increasing capital gains taxes on a small percentage of Canadians, the government expects to generate substantial revenues over the next five years. This revenue will fund transformative investments across provinces and territories, supporting essential sectors such as housing, healthcare, education, child care, and infrastructure.
As Canada moves forward with its commitment to nurturing the arts, supporting communities, and ensuring a prosperous future for all, the magical circus celebration in Montreal stands as a testament to the power of creativity, unity, and cultural appreciation.
