The province is presenting a $50,000 grant to the Coopérative Centre francophone de Thunder Bay (CFTB) under the Ontario Trillium Foundation
(OTF) Community Development Fund.
The money will help support staff and manage operating costs while offering safe cultural programming both virtual and in-person as well as transportation
services to marginalized people.
“I am pleased to see the Coopérative Center francophone de Thunder Bay Inc. receiving these funds to help services and programs for Francophones and small organizations thrive in our community. As we emerge from this pandemic, it is important to use technology to provide services in person and virtually. Thunder Bay and the region has a proud francophone community. I am delighted to see them supported by this grant!” said Thunder Bay-Superior North MPP Michael Gravelle.
The program invests $105 million towards community organizations in the arts and culture, heritage, tourism, sport and leisure sectors that are under financial pressure due to the pandemic.
