Across the country, festivals bring Canadians together to celebrate the diverse cultures and traditions that make our communities vibrant and inclusive. They also attract millions of visitors from around the world, enriching local economies and helping to make Canada stronger.
Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, announced funding of up to $100,000 through the Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program to GreekTown on the Danforth Business Improvement Area for the Taste of the Danforth festival, Canada's largest street festival.
This investment will support the return of the Taste of the Danforth following a two-year hiatus, continuing a tradition that began in 1994 as a celebration of Greek food and culture and has since become a symbol of Canada's multiculturalism.
