Ontario Extends Support for Employers and Employees Impacted by COVID-19 |
The Ontario government is helping protect jobs and businesses by extending protection to prevent temporary layoffs from automatically becoming permanent job losses. Although Ontario is now in Phase 3 of reopening, this extension will give businesses more time to reopen and return to full operations. This extension will last until January 2, 2021. |

Local Restaurants Need Our Support |
|
Our restaurants are cornerstones in communities across Canada. By taking the necessary actions to create the conditions for success, together we can create a win-win for more Canadians to get back to work and prevent the failure of a key industry.
Pre-pandemic, the restaurant industry created 1 out of every 15 jobs and contributed $31 billion to Canada’s GDP. That’s why it’s important now, more than ever, that we help the restaurant industry recover.
