Across Canada, government responses to COVID-19 have resulted in the rapid creation of a significant number of relief programs for businesses and individuals. These programs span federal, provincial, and municipal governments, and many are being offered in partnership with financial institutions.
However, relief program availability continues to change rapidly, and also varies based on location and circumstances. This makes it difficult for businesses and individuals to know what resources are available at any given time.
To assist with this matter, Gowling WLG has prepared the attached resource to aggregate government relief programs across the country. The guide, which is updated regularly, also provides key insights about access and eligibility.
