Peter Goldring Announces Funding for Serca Festival of Irish Theatre Society
EDMONTON – Peter Goldring, Conservative Member of Parliament for Edmonton East, on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage, today announced federal government support for the Theatre Prospero’s Third Annual Serca Festival of Irish Theatre Society.
“Our Government is proud to support this event,” said Minister Moore. “By partnering with communities to support activities that celebrate our shared history and our rich cultural diversity, we are fulfilling our commitment to strengthen our communities and support arts, culture and heritage.”
“This festival is another example of the vibrant arts scene that continues to grow on 118th Ave.,” Mr. Goldring says. I am pleased to be able to support it.
Theatre Prospoero has received funding of $4,000 to help present its Serca Festival of Irish Theatre Society, which will take place from June 28-July 3.
The Government of Canada created the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program in September 2007. This program provides Canadians with more opportunities to take part in local activities that present arts and culture and celebrate local history and heritage. This program will benefit many community events and celebrations throughout Canada this year.
