With Spring flowers beginning to bloom, we are hopeful that our physical distancing measures will ensure the COVID-19 virus can be defeated in a shorter time period.  It goes without saying, this hasn’t been an easy time for any of us.  Our thoughts are with you!

Over the past weeks, there have been an overwhelming amount of Canadian government initiatives announced and implemented.  It has been a momentous task to stay on top of the options available and whether individuals and businesses qualify for the funding.  Without a doubt, there will be more announcements for funding in the coming weeks as many people have been left out.  We have added links to the current government initiatives for you to review at your leisure, as well as other resources you may find helpful.
