Green leader calls for continued rent relief for small business

× Thank you!

For more than a dozen years the Bay Observer has been providing a fresh perspective on the important local events and issues that face our communities.

Coverage of local news has never been more important in our democratic society as the number of news voices has diminished. You can help us not only maintain the quality coverage we have been providing, but to improve it, by allowing us to being more voices and more coverage to our loyal readers and followers.

At a time when many on-line news services are moving to paywalls the Bay Observer prefers to try a different approach that involves the Bay Observer family.

The Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA) for small businesses that provides relief for small businesses experiencing financial hardship due to COVID‑19 is due to run out at the end of this month. It has already been extended once. Ontario Green Party leader and Guelph MPP Mike Schreiner is calling for either another extension or a made-in-Ontario solution.
