During his visit to L'Odyssée des Bâtisseurs in Alma, the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism, announced more than $170,000 in Government of Canada support for several of the region's museums in 2019-2020, as part of Canadian Heritage's Museums Assistance Program.
The minister noted that the funding includes a $92,000 investment in the Société d'histoire du Lac-Saint-Jean, which manages L'Odyssée des Bâtisseurs, to support two projects: the creation of the Territoires d'identité: les villes de compagnie au Canada exhibition, andTêtes d'affiche travelling exhibition.
This support will give the public more opportunities to enjoy a range of exhibitions and activities offered at museums in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. A full list of projects in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region that received funding under this program this year is attached.
