Canada Music Fund to Receive $67 Million Boost as Part of $600 Million CanCon​ Investment in 2026 Federal Budget

The Carney government has outlined the details of its $600 investment to the cultural sector, which includes $67 million allocated to the music industry. The funds will be distributed to the Fund's five recipients, including FACTOR and Musicaction.

The Canada Music Fund is getting a new boost from the federal government.

At last night's ADISQ Gala in Montreal (Nov. 8), the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, Marc Miller, announced that the federal government will invest $67 million to the Canada Music Fund, as part of the government's promised $600 million investment into the cultural sector. The sum was first announced in June to provide "immediate relief" to the country's audio and audiovisual sector and confirmed for 2026-27 in the latest federal budget, which was tabled last week. Over the weekend, Ottawa gave a long-awaited breakdown of how the funds will be allocated.
