Saint-Jean-de-Matha, Quebec, November 14, 2023 - Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
A key driver of the economy, the Canadian tourism industry generated more than $100 billion in annual revenues before being hit hard by the pandemic. That is why the Government of Canada launched the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF), a $500M pan-Canadian initiative to help businesses and organizations in the sector overcome the impacts of the pandemic and position themselves for the future. The initiative, administered by CED in Quebec, ended on March 31, 2023.
Today, Annie Koutrakis, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, is announcing a total of $312,338 in financial contributions for three Lanaudière tourism organisations that have received CED support under the TRF.
The recipient organisations are the Forêt de l'Abbaye inc., Chalets Lanaudière and the Centre de villégiature et de congrès Lanaudière inc. This announcement follows a series of strategic investments made by CED under this initiative; a report on the TRF was unveiled on June 28, 2023.
