Ontario’s Main Street Relief Grant to help cover PPE costs for small businesses
November 18, 2020 By Ground Water Canada
Ontario has launched a new program, the Main Street Relief Grant, to help small businesses with the unexpected costs of personal protective equipment.
The new grant was brought to our attention by Bonny Koabel of AKR Consulting Canada. To be eligible, your business must have two to nine employees and be in accommodation and food services, retail, repair and maintenance, or personal and laundry services.
Eligible small businesses in Ontario will get one-time grants of up to $1,000.
