As part of phase I of the $500 million temporary Emergency Support Fund to Cultural, Heritage and Sport Organizations, the Government is investing $3.5M in activities to counter disinformation related to COVID-19. To date, the Minister of Canadian Heritage has announced that the Government is investing $3 million in several civil society organizations through the Digital Citizen Initiative’s Digital Citizen Contribution Program. This funding will help combat false and misleading COVID-19 information as well as the racism and stigmatization that are often the result. Funded projects will reach Canadians on a national and local scale, online and offline, in minority communities, in both official languages and in Indigenous communities.
