Hi Members -

I hope you are managing in these trying times. I know it is frustrating trying to navigate the loan/ grant process and the government bureaucracy. This is an unprecedented process, so I do think we need some patience. Below are various webinars that are designed to help you. Please take advantage of them. Our website has great resources too. And - if you are conducting business in some form and are not yet listed on our Open Businesses pages, please let me know so I can add you.

Take care. Stay safe and healthy.
