Once again this year, the can't-miss Francos de Montréal festival will celebrate La Francophonie in all its diversity, in a celebration of French music.
Today, the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Quebec Lieutenant Pablo Rodriguez, and the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for the Regions of Quebec (CED), reiterated the Government of Canada's support for les Francos of Montréal.
Canadian Heritage, allocated $630,000 in support for the 2022-2024 festivals, through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. This helps support renewal in the Quebec and Canadian cultural scene and the development of Francophone music.
CED contributed $975,000 in support for three years (2022-2024) through its Quebec Economic Development Program. This will support the marketing and promotion of les Francos in international markets and attract foreign tourists to Montréal, as well as help develop new programming.
