Please note the KMBIA is always trying to support our neighbourhood during this time with the following positions on supporting small businesses.
- Covid has highlighted some of the weaknesses of our political and economic structures. Small business have to function in a system that’s stacked against them. We are trying our best to highlight those issues.
- We know there is little to no protection for commercial lease holders. That’s a major factor in many of the closures during covid shut downs and prior to COVID.
- Many of the businesses that have closed are also cultural institutions in their own right and losing them will have a disastrous effect on our neighbourhood. We are trying to advocate for these important institutions
- We know some new businesses in the neighbourhood do not apply for the CERS program STILL, we will be actively pushing for reassessment on this process as well.
