Alberta at Home by Travel Alberta
As we’ve seen across the province, tourism businesses are finding innovative ways to stay connected with their customers now— from virtual concerts to watch from the comfort of their couch, to beverage kits they can buy to create an at-home happy hour —and inspiring them to try their products and experiences in person when the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
 
On April 30 th , Travel Alberta will launch “Alberta At Home”, a project we hope will become a source for:
•            A province-wide movement of Albertans helping Albertans
•           Positioning businesses for the Restart phase
 
Alberta At Home uses Travel Alberta’s Alberta Tourism Information Service (ATIS), and allows businesses that have created a virtual experience (or found a unique approach to offering their products) to  identify it within ATIS using a new ‘Alberta At Home’ tag.  This content will be collected and shared on a new TravelAlberta.com page, as well as on other Travel Alberta marketing channels. Once Alberta At Home launches, virtual experiences that have a cost attached to them (e.g. at-home happy hour kit) can be uploaded as an ATIS Travel Offer; virtual experiences with no cost attached to them (e.g. free livestream art class) can be uploaded as an ATIS Event.
 
We hope this province-wide initiative supports your destination’s efforts, and together we can help our industry partners and Albertans through this difficult time

Do you need help getting on the Alberta Tourism Information System (ATIS)? Let us know!
The staff at the Stettler Board of Trade would be happy to help guide you through creating a profile.

Details for the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance program have been released.

Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) for small businesses provides much needed relief for small businesses experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19. It offers forgivable loans to eligible commercial property owners so that they can reduce the rent owed by their impacted small business tenants by at least 75% for the months of April, May and June, 2020.

The Premier, Ministers and Dr. Hinshaw referred many times to this document as the information that businesses should use as they make decisions regarding how to keep their customers and staff safe.
