As PoutineFest has grown, one thing has become clear. There are so many people out there doing meaningful work to keep Francophone cultures alive. Schools, nonprofits, artists, community organizers, small groups with big ideas. But not all of them have access to the resources they need. The Light of the North Cultural Grants are about opening that door wider.

We want to support projects across New England that bring this culture into public life. That means language, food traditions, music, storytelling, history, and new ideas that push things forward. This is about inclusivity. Not just who gets to participate, but who gets to lead, create, and share.

‍ ‍ There’s something we’ve believed since day one of PoutineFest. This was never just about fries, curds, and gravy. It’s about culture that means so much to our region. It’s about the stories, traditions, and communities that shaped New England and still live here today. That’s why w...

Massachusetts have a huge French-Canadian descent population. Who knew??

This table shows the main destinations of French-Canadian immigrants to the United States in the late nineteenth century, with English-Canadian migration fields offered as a point of comparison.

Caveat lector:

- Small cities (fewer than 25,000 residents) with a high proportion of immigrants do not appear. Such French-Canadian destinations as Lewiston, Biddeford, and Nashua are thus excluded.

- This captures both people born on U.S. soil and in Canada, but a higher rate of ethnic exogamy (marriage with other groups) among English Canadians probably means this group is underrepresented in this table, as only people with two English-Canadian parents are counted.
