Title: “Federal Investment Unveiled to Boost Arts and Culture in Montréal”
In a sparkling display of support for the vibrant arts and culture scene in Montréal, the federal government has announced a significant investment that will bring joy and entertainment to communities across the city. The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, revealed that $31 million will be allocated over two years for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund, with a portion earmarked to bolster TOHU, a remarkable performing arts theatre in Montréal, and the enchanting circus programs of the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque.
The festival promises 11 days of awe-inspiring performances, where the city will transform into a stage for high-flying artists from Montréal and around the world. This investment not only supports local talent but also fuels job creation, drives tourism, and fosters community spirit as residents come together to celebrate the rich arts and culture that define Montréal.
Minister Miller emphasized the importance of investing in cultural industries, recognizing their critical role in driving the economy. Stéphane Lavoie, General and Programming Director of TOHU, expressed gratitude for the government’s recognition of the cultural impact, highlighting the support to showcase Montréal as an international hub for circus arts.
Patricia Lattanzio, MP for Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, echoed the sentiment, underlining how such investments benefit the entire community, spurring job growth and boosting tourism.
Moreover, as part of Budget 2024, the government is working towards creating a fairer Canada for future generations. Initiatives like reducing the capital gains tax advantage and investing in housing, health care, education, and childcare aim to provide greater opportunities and support to all Canadians, paving the way for a brighter future.
With this newfound focus on arts and culture and a commitment to advancing societal well-being, the government’s investment sets the stage for a more inclusive and culturally rich future for all Canadians.
