Businesses in Renfrew County may be eligible to benefit from additional funding through the Government of Canada’s Regional Relief and Recovery Fund.
This additional funding has been made available through a $1,500,000 investment by the Government of Canada in the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund.
This funding is a top-up to the nearly 1 million dollar investment by the Government of Canada made back in in May 2020.
A central part of this is the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF), which helps support those who may not be eligible for other programs.
A local example is Whippoorwill Cottages, a family owned and managed resort on Calabogie Lake that completed social distancing modifications and hired additional summer staff to ensure thorough sanitations.
In order to provide targeted assistance locally, Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation is focusing on assisting a range of businesses in our region with loans up to $40,000.
Please visit the RCCFD website for more information on eligibility and the application process.
