Headline: Federal Government Invests $31 Million in Montréal’s Circus Arts and Culture Scene
In a dazzling display of support for the arts, the federal government has announced a $31 million investment in the vibrant circus arts and culture scene of Montréal. The funding, part of Budget 2024, will breathe new life into community facilities like libraries and cultural centers, creating essential spaces for Canadians to come together as neighbors.
Today, in a bustling Montréal, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, unveiled plans to allocate $800,000 of the investment to TOHU, a renowned performing arts theatre, and the enchanting circus programs of the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque. The festival promises to transform venues, streets, parks, and sidewalks into stages for high-flying performers from Montréal and around the globe for 11 exhilarating days.
This initiative not only bolsters local artists but also stimulates job creation, drives tourism, and unites communities in a celebration of Montréal’s rich arts and culture heritage. The investment reflects a broader commitment in Budget 2024 to enhance the safety and well-being of Canadian communities, ensuring they are ideal places to live, work, and raise families.
Minister Miller expressed fervent support for TOHU and local artists, recognizing their pivotal role in driving the economy and enriching society. Stéphane Lavoie, General and Programming Director of TOHU, welcomed the government’s support, highlighting its positive impact on the cultural sector. Moreover, MP Patricia Lattanzio praised the investment for benefiting the entire Saint-Léonard–Saint-Michel community.
The government’s dedication to fairer tax policies will also facilitate significant investments for future generations. By reducing the capital gains tax advantage, the government aims to generate $19.4 billion in new revenue over five years, enabling transformative investments in housing, health care, education, child care, and infrastructure.
The funding injection serves as a testament to the government’s commitment to building a fairer Canada, where every generation can thrive and enjoy the diverse cultural tapestry that makes Montréal a global hub for circus arts.
