Jobs and Economic Recovery Minister Ravi Kahlon says the latest BC program aimed at helping businesses affected by BC's pandemic restrictions is up and running.
Kahlon says the COVID-19 Closure Relief Grant has been fast-tracked and is ready to accept applications from businesses ordered to temporarily close due to newly announced public-health measures.
Businesses that were ordered to fully close as of December 22nd, including certain bars, nightclubs and lounges, gyms, fitness and adult dance centres as well as some event venues, can apply for relief grants of one-thousand to ten-thousand dollars.
The total grant amount per business will be based on the number of employees and the province estimates the funds will help more than 3,000 businesses with expenses ranging from rent to wages, insurance, maintenance and utilities.
