“We have doubled the funding for this important program to support more initiatives and organizations that serve the francophone community,” said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Francophone Affairs. “Through the Francophone Community Grants Program, the Ontario government is strengthening the capacity of francophone organizations and businesses to contribute to Ontario’s cultural and economic prosperity and make a real difference in the daily lives of francophones and francophiles in the province.”<\/p>\n
