Will a funding decision be made on the 2021 Francophonie Games?
An announcement is expected at a news conference to be held at 9am Wednesday morning in Fredericton.
The federal, provincial and host cities had been urged by La Francophonie minister Robert Gauvin to develop funding options by today’s deadline.
The cost of the Games has mushroomed to 130 million dollars after an original cost estimate of $17 million.
The games were awarded to New Brunswick in 2015, to be held in Moncton and Dieppe. It is the largest sporting and cultural event of the Francophonie dedicated to youth.
