La Fureur welcomes Minister Verner!

Just a few hours before the official opening of Quebec City's 400th anniversary celebrations on December 31, 2007, Minister Josée Verner participated in the latest musical game, La Fureur, presented on Radio-Canada television. Nearly 4,000 people gathered at the Pavillon de la jeunesse on the ExpoCité site to take part in this special celebration.

Canadian Heritage provided the Fondation canadienne pour le dialogue des cultures with $308,000 in financial support to produce the special program. This funding was provided through Enhancement of Official Languages Program, which is designed to foster greater understanding and appreciation of linguistic duality and to promote closer ties between the members of the two official-language communities on the basis of language and culture.
