Edmond LaBossi\u00e8re, President of the Board of Directors of CDEM says: \u201cCDEM listens to communities and we work closely with our local partners to invest in innovative economic development projects that have a major impact on our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the pandemic, a fund like the FD\u00c9FO is even more important since it supports projects that will have growth-generating effects on our official language minority communities (OLMCs). The economic benefits of these projects will be felt both in the short and long term, resulting in stronger and more prosperous communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis funding is also in line with the recommendations made by the provincial policy brief of the Association of Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (AMBM), which includes the CDEM, outlining how important it is to invest in viable and sustainable infrastructure. This funding from FD\u00c9FO recognizes that these projects will act as a catalyst for these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, tangible economic benefits will be felt from these projects. Justin Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of the AMBM, understands the impact: \u201cThe AMBM works with our bilingual municipalities and we know that one of their priorities is economic development. We want to give them the opportunity to be stronger and more vibrant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProjects like the St. Joseph Museum and the St. Georges Museum will ensure the preservation of Francophone and M\u00e9tis artefacts for years to come. These are very positive projects for the communities, revitalizing and fulfilling, since it will allow communities to tell their story. We are able today to have the courage of our convictions and our cultures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the Ste. Agathe Red River Access project, it\u2019s a plan that offers different recreational development perspectives for the community of Ste. Agathe and surrounding areas. This plan will also offer possibilities for tourism development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of these projects are really going to make our communities stronger and more vibrant,\u201d concludes Justin Johnson. \u201cAnd by moving forward with these plans, we will be able to realize the vision of our communities. This is excellent news for the entire Francophone and bilingual community in Manitoba!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since FD\u00c9FO is a three-year program, there will be two more rounds of project selection. Both AMBM and CDEM look forward to the positive outcomes for tourism and social infrastructure in Manitoba&#8217;s bilingual communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information taken from the CDEM publication:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cdem.com\/en\/publications\/a-stronger-more-vibrant-bilingual-manitoba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For a stronger and more vibrant bilingual Manitoba<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information:<\/strong> Justin Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, 204-289-4077, info@ambm.ca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This fall, three bilingual Manitoban projects received $45,500 in funding each by the Pan-West Francophone Economic &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2968,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[230],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
