The province is supporting 75 projects that protect the social, cultural and economic vitality of Francophone communities across Ontario.
$3 million is being provided through the Francophone Community Grants Program.
Officials say the money will help groups expand services, improve employee training, increase community outreach and create new employment opportunities.
$50,000 goes to Les Compagnons for a project offering dedicated workspace to Francophone small businesses and organizations, young creative talent and seniors.
It will include an onboarding component for newcomers, with integration and cultural discovery activities.
