Title: Montréal Circus Arts Festival Receives Multi-Million Dollar Boost from Federal Government
In a dazzling display of support for the arts and culture scene in Montréal, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced a $31 million investment over two years for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. The funding includes $800,000 specifically designated to support TOHU, a renowned performing arts theatre in Montréal, and the captivating circus programs of the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque.
This investment is not just about spotlighting the talents of local artists; it is a strategic move to boost job creation, drive tourism, and unite communities in celebration of the vibrant Montréal arts scene. The Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque promises 11 days of awe-inspiring performances from both local and international artists, transforming various venues, streets, parks, and even sidewalks into stages for high-flying circus acts.
Minister Miller emphasized the crucial role of the arts and culture sector in driving economic growth and enriching the lives of Canadians. By supporting TOHU and local artists, the government is making a significant investment in a sector that brings joy, opportunities, and economic benefits to communities across the country.
Stéphane Lavoie, the General and Programming Director of TOHU, expressed gratitude for the government’s recognition of the positive impact of culture. The funding will not only help TOHU cover rising broadcasting costs but also elevate Montréal’s status as an international hub for circus arts.
Additionally, Patricia Lattanzio, MP for Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, highlighted how government support for projects like the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque bolsters the local community, creating jobs, boosting tourism, and fostering a sense of unity.
Budget 2024’s commitment to making Canada’s tax system fairer for all generations is paving the way for transformative investments in housing, healthcare, education, child care, and infrastructure. By increasing capital gains taxes on a small fraction of Canadians, the government aims to generate significant new revenue to support initiatives that will benefit every generation.
With a vision for a fairer Canada where every generation can thrive, the federal government’s investment in the arts, culture, and community infrastructure is not just about supporting individual programs but about creating a more vibrant, inclusive, and prosperous nation for all.
