More support for businesses keeping Albertans safe
In response to the latest public health actions, government is providing funding to help offset costs of implementing the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) and support training for workers.
“Businesses need support to survive in our ever-changing health environment. The GOA announcement acknowledges this, providing assistance for businesses participating in the REP program. These training grants will help keep business owners, employees, and patrons safe and our economy moving.” – ACC President and CEO Ken Kobly
