Headline: Federal Investment Boosts Montreal’s Circus Arts Scene and Community Spirit
In an exciting development that promises to elevate Montreal’s vibrant cultural landscape, the federal government has announced a significant investment of $31 million over two years for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. This funding includes $800,000 dedicated to supporting TOHU, a renowned performing arts theatre in Montreal, and the captivating circus programs of the Festival Montreal Complement Cirque.
The announcement, made by the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, highlights the pivotal role of arts and culture in enriching lives, creating jobs, and driving tourism. The Festival Montreal Complement Cirque is set to transform Montreal into a bustling hub of high-flying performances from local and international artists over an 11-day extravaganza.
Minister Miller emphasized the government’s commitment to supporting local artists and cultural industries, recognizing their crucial contribution to the economy. The investment not only bolsters the arts sector but also fosters community engagement, showcasing the diverse talents that make Montreal a global leader in circus arts.
Expressing gratitude for the government’s recognition of the cultural impact, Stéphane Lavoie, General and Programming Director of TOHU, underscored how the support will enable them to highlight Montreal as the international capital of circus arts. Meanwhile, MP Patricia Lattanzio of Saint-Leonard-Saint-Michel praised the investment for creating jobs, supporting tourism, and enriching the local community through initiatives like the Festival Montreal Complement Cirque.
This investment aligns with Budget 2024’s broader vision for a fairer Canada that benefits every generation. By reducing the capital gains tax advantage, the government aims to generate revenue to fund crucial projects such as building more homes, providing free contraception and diabetes medications, expanding dental care access, and implementing $10-a-day child care.
The government’s commitment to tax fairness is set to bring transformative changes, ensuring that younger generations have opportunities for growth and prosperity. This inclusive approach will empower provinces and territories to invest in essential sectors like housing, health care, education, and infrastructure, creating a more equitable and thriving society for all Canadians.
