The Fondation de l’Université du Québec en Outaouais and UQO have announced the creation of an endowment fund and research chair named in honour of folk-rock band Les Cowboys Fringants. The Chaire de recherche Cowboys Fringants is expected to cover a broad field of research, including biodiversity, climate change, and Indigenous knowledge, and the inaugural holder is expected to be announced ahead of the International Day of La Francophonie in March. This endowment is funded through a $400K contribution from UQO and the former Fondation des Cowboys. Artists signed under the same record label as Les Cowboys Fringants have also agreed to provide a portion of ticket proceeds to contribute to the fund.
