1. Mandatory Health Restrictions

June 10, 2021

Mandatory restrictions are being safely eased as vaccine targets are reached and hospitalizations decline. Alberta entered Step 2 of their "Open for Summer Plan" on June 10, 2021, and is expected to enter Stage 3 on July 1.

All current restrictions remain in effect until July 1. Continue following public health measures and get vaccinated as soon as possible. Please visit Alberta.ca for more information.

2. Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant

April 14, 2021

The Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant offers financial assistance to Alberta organizations (businesses, cooperatives, and non-profits) that were ordered to close or curtail operations, and that experienced a revenue reduction of at least 30%, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

To support businesses affected by the public health measures introduced in April 2021, a third application period will open soon.

Businesses, cooperatives and non-profits can use these funds as they see fit to help offset a portion of the impact of new public health measures or their relaunch costs, such as implementing measures to minimize the risk of virus transmission, which could include:

• physical barriers
• purchasing personal protective equipment and disinfecting supplies
• paying rent and employee wages
• replacing inventory and more
