The Government of Canada understands the crucial role played by organizations working to protect our two official languages across the country. They not only provide essential support to official-language minority communities, but also help promote our linguistic duality to ensure a promising future for generations to come.
Today, the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Official Languages and Minister responsible for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, announced nearly $4 million in funding for 21 Francophone organizations in New Brunswick. Provided through the Development of Official-Language Communities Program, this important financial support will enable organizations to continue to operate, as well as promote the dynamism and vitality of official-language minority communities.
The federal government will remain an ally of these official language organizations that do such important work. Thanks to them, Canadians will continue to grow, learn and dream in the language of their choice.
