Title: Government Boosts Arts and Culture Scene in Montréal Through $31 Million Investment
Montréal is set to shine as the international capital of circus arts thanks to a significant $31 million investment announced by the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. As part of Budget 2024, the federal government has committed to supporting cultural initiatives and community facilities across Canada, with a particular focus on enhancing local arts scenes and creating vibrant spaces for Canadians to come together.
The investment includes $800,000 directed towards TOHU, a performing arts theatre in Montréal, and the renowned Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque. This funding will not only bolster the local arts industry but also create job opportunities, boost tourism, and foster a sense of community through shared cultural experiences.
The Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque is set to transform venues, streets, parks, and sidewalks into stages for high-flying circus performers from both Montréal and around the globe. This immersive 11-day event will celebrate the rich tapestry of arts and culture in the city, showcasing its reputation as a global hub for circus arts.
Minister Miller emphasized the importance of investing in cultural industries as vital economic drivers, enriching the lives of Canadians and supporting local businesses. The funding not only helps meet the growing broadcasting costs but also allows Montréal to maintain its status as an international cultural center.
Stéphane Lavoie, General and Programming Director of TOHU, expressed gratitude for the government’s recognition of the impact of culture on citizens. This support will enable them to continue promoting the thriving arts scene in Montréal while contributing to the local economy.
Patricia Lattanzio, MP of Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, highlighted the broader community benefits of projects like the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque. Such investments not only create jobs and support the tourism sector but also foster unity and pride within the entire community.
The government’s commitment to fostering a fairer Canada for every generation includes plans to reduce the capital gains tax advantage, leading to investments in housing, healthcare, education, childcare, and infrastructure. By redistributing taxes on a small percentage of Canadians, substantial revenue will be generated to fuel transformative investments at both federal and provincial levels, supporting long-term prosperity.
With this significant investment in Montréal’s arts and culture scene, the government aims to cultivate creativity, economic growth, and a strong sense of community, reinforcing the city’s
