BC Green Party releases plan to help tourism operators and small businesses battered by the COVID-19

BY , Oct 8, 2020 1:05 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

BC Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau has released a plan to help tourism operators and small businesses battered by the COVID-19 pandemic get through the winter.

Furstenau says if the Greens win the election later this month, the targeted plan will get help more quickly where it's really needed.

It includes a 300-million dollar rent subsidy program that would cover 25 per cent of rental costs for qualifying small businesses.

Furstenau is also promising to retool the provincial grant program to focus on supporting small tourism operators and to ensure grant money can start to flow immediately.
