The Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, today announced funding for 39 New Brunswick arts and heritage projects. Minister Moore made the announcement during a visit to the Dieppe Arts and Culture Centre, in the presence of community representatives.

The funding is intended to support a wide range of projects, including the Dieppe Kite International, the Festival by the Marsh, the Festival acadien de Caraquet, and many others.

"Our Government is encouraging creativity and innovation through major investments in culture," said Minister Moore. "By providing Canadians and visitors alike with opportunities to experience the rich cultural diversity of Greater Moncton and parts of Eastern New Brunswick, we are promoting the development of local artists and artisans and thereby contributing to the vitality of this region."

The Government of Canada has provided funding totalling $1,020,031 under four programs of the Department of Canadian Heritage: the Canada Arts Presentation Fund, the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program, the Museums Assistance Program and the Cultural Development Fund component of the Official Languages Support Programs.
