Our arts and cultural organizations are the beating heart of our communities and enable Canadians to discover and experience art and culture close to home. For more than 50 years, the Compagnie Jean Duceppe has played a central role in Quebec's theatre scene, presenting works that bring people together and providing a premier showcase for plays that reflect the realities and cultural heritage of Quebecers.
Today, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, announced $1.2 million in funding for the Compagnie Jean Duceppe to support the modernization of its venues.
This funding, provided through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, will be used to set up a new rehearsal, creation and performance space that meets professional standards. The improvements will provide artists with an optimal working environment, as well as better reception and access conditions for the public.
