Our country's identity and culture drive innovation, economic growth and Canadian pride. By supporting events that celebrate our cultural diversity, bring people together and create opportunities to share our diverse stories, heritage and traditions, we are strengthening the bonds that unite us and building a Canada where everyone belongs.
Today, Steeve Lavoie, Member of Parliament (Beauport-Limoilou), announced $20,000 in funding for the organization Discover my city, which operates in Québec City. He made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages.
The funding is through the Events component of Canadian Heritage's Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program.
With this support, the organization is offering a heritage tour in Québec City as well as an intercultural evening filled with musical and culinary discoveries from various cultures around the world. These activities, which bring people together and create opportunities to interact and unite, have taken place since 2022.
