Les Compagnons will get a $50,000 government grant for their project “Well-being and Living Well: All of Nipissing in Shape”.
The grants provide funding to non-profit organizations, social enterprises and businesses that deliver services in French or serve Francophone markets and promote the vitality of Ontario’s Francophone community.
"Our government is strengthening the amount of francophone businesses and organizations like Les Compagnons to contribute to Ontario's community, cultural, and economic success,” said MPP Vic Fedeli.
“The Francophone Community Grants Program will enable Les Compagnons to launch the "Well-being and Living Well: All of Nipissing in Shape" initiative for the upcoming season.
This program offers several activities focused on well-being and health, strengthening the capacity of local actors to provide services in French.
"We aim to promote health among various target groups, such as walking clubs for seniors and gymnastics for toddlers. Partnerships with the Retired Teachers of Ontario, the Richelieu Clubs of North Bay and Sturgeon Falls, the Federation of Francophone Canadian Women of Mattawa, the Club Action 50+ in Corbeil, and local daycares will multiply opportunities for exercise and well-being in French, thus reinforcing the Franco-Ontarian community identity.” said Arnaud Claude, Director, Les Compagnons.
