The Government of Canada makes historic investments in Manitoba under the Action Plan for Official Languages
Official-language minority communities in Canada face considerable challenges to maintain their language and their identity. To ensure the vitality and future of linguistic minority communities, the Government of Canada is making real investments so that all Canadians can reap the economic and cultural benefits of our official languages.
Marie-France Lalonde, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages, confirmed that the Government of Canada has invested $3.5 million in 2020-2021 program funding to 19 organizations in Manitoba, a funding increase of 49 percent since 2018, with four additional organizations receiving funding. She made this announcement on behalf of the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages.
