Globally, people and businesses are faced with having to understand how to deal with the ever-changing issues surrounding the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. Managing the public health risk for infectious diseases is the responsibility of Alberta Health Services, but business owners need to be prepared for the potential impacts that COVID-19 could have on their operations.
The Stettler Board of Trade wants to assist our community with easy access to factual, up-to-date information so that your business can be prepared. We have created a private Facebook group that will share a collection of resources to help keep you up to date as well as develop your business continuity plans. We will continue to provide new resources as they become available.

For Not For Profits
The Alberta government announced additional emergency funding to charities, not-for-profits and civil society organizations to support their COVID-19 response.
This funding will be provided immediately and will support social services in enabling social distancing, as well as supports and services for at-risk seniors and families facing homelessness, poverty and social isolation.
Although Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is assisting in disbursing the funds, projects do not need to follow FCSS program guidelines, or be existing FCSS partners.
Charities, not-for-profits and civil society organizations looking to help Albertans during the COVID-19 pandemic can apply for this funding. More information on eligible services can be found in the Funding Criteria form below.
The Alberta government is currently working with stakeholders to reach those who are most impacted by COVID-19.
Emergency funding will be distributed with the assistance of local FCSS programs.
