The Canadian Cultural Centre is participating in the European Heritage Days on September 16 and 17, 2023! On the program:

Free visit of the exhibition The Deployment, on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September – from 12pm to 7pm (last entry at 6:30pm)
The Deployment presents a corpus created by Emmanuelle Léonard following a research residency in Canada’s Far North within the Canadian Forces Arts Program. With this exhibition, Emmanuelle Léonard addresses a very diverse set of realities: the strategic military deployment in this region of the world where national, political and economic issues are exacerbated by the effects of global warming; the commitment of young adults to the collective values of the army as well as their self-motivated mobilization; the contribution of the Inuit Rangers without whom the learning of survival in such polar conditions would be in vain; but also the candour of the young soldiers before the beauty of the northern landscapes they discover.
In partnership with the UQAM Gallery (Université du Québec à Montréal)

Jules Léger, Ambassador of Canada to France, had the first idea of creating a Canadian Cultural Centre in France in order to discover the richness of the diversity of Canadian culture and thus strengthen the bonds of friendship between Canada and France. The Canadian Cultural Centre officially opened on April 2, 1970 and has been promoting Canadian culture in France for nearly half a century.
First established on the Esplanade des Invalides in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, the Centre moved in spring 2018 to 130 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement of Paris in a postHaussmannian rehabilitated by Canadian and French architects Julian Smith and Jean-Paul Viguier. Integrated into the Embassy of Canada, it is in this unique setting that privileged artistic encounters between Canada and France come to life.
As the heart of Canada’s cultural diplomacy in France, the Canadian Cultural Centre’s mission is to promote the most innovative contemporary Canadian creation, across
