Montréal, June 26, 2024 – The vibrant streets of Montréal are set to dazzle with circus performances as the federal government injects $31 million over two years into the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. This funding will support TOHU, a renowned performing arts theater, and the thrilling circus programs of the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque.
Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Marc Miller, announced this major investment today. By backing these artistic ventures, the government is not just promoting culture, but also driving employment, tourism, and economic growth in the region.
The iconic festival, bringing high-flying acts from around the globe to Montréal for 11 days, embodies the city’s standing as a global hub for circus arts. Sidewalks, parks, and venues will transform into stages to showcase the talents of local and international performers.
“This strategic support for TOHU and our local artists demonstrates the government’s commitment to nurturing our cultural industries, which are key economic drivers,” stated Minister Marc Miller.

Local MP, Patricia Lattanzio, highlighted the broader community benefits, with government investments like the Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque not only creating jobs and boosting tourism but also fostering unity among residents.
Beyond the arts, Budget 2024 prioritizes fairness for all generations through initiatives such as reducing the capital gains tax advantage, enhancing access to healthcare, and making housing more affordable. These changes aim to create a more equitable Canada where every individual can thrive.
The government’s commitment to tax fairness will generate substantial revenue over the coming years, enabling transformative investments in housing, healthcare, education, and infrastructure across the country. The goal is to empower each generation to lead prosperous and fulfilling lives.
As the arts sector receives a crucial boost, Montréal’s cultural scene is poised to shine brighter than ever, attracting visitors from far and wide to experience the magic of the circus and the rich tapestry of creativity that defines the city’s identity.
