Salut Canada! is a pan-Canadian project developed as part of Canada’s 150th anniversary. Canadian Heritage funds this project.
Salut Canada! aims to:
- Showcase the Francophone and Acadian culture and heritage of each province and territory of Canada.
- Ensure the development of Francophone tourism products and those providing services in French.
- Promote these products on French-speaking domestic and international tourist markets.
- Contribute to the development of the tourism sector in Canada to generate economic spinoffs for Francophone communities.
Salut Canada! celebrates more than 400 French-speaking heritage, cultural and tourism products in Canada. They are available to visitors from here and elsewhere in French. It also relies on dynamic multimedia approaches. An interactive map, for example, gives an overview of the entire Canadian Francophonie. National and international visitors can consult it as needed: Salut Canada – More than a destination!.
