3.0 COVID 19 Impact on Ontario Tourism Operations Survey
Please help us build the most comprehensive picture of the very latest developments on the front-line. It's vital that we are able to monitor and feedback this information to the government.

Please note the survey will close at 8am on Monday April 6th so that we can collate and analyze the information before our weekly conference call with Minister MacLeod.

Please ensure that when sharing the survey you include the closing date prominently.

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration during this difficult time.
Wage Subsidy Concept Only As Good As Execution
The Emergency Wage Subsidy is an important tool to help keep our economy afloat during this crisis. That said, yesterday's announcement that Canadian businesses will need to wait another six weeks for funds will be detrimental as many smaller businesses do not have enough cash reserves to wait that long. 
 
We look forward to continuing to work with the government on behalf of Canadian business to ensure the help they receive is sufficient to get them through – and out of – this crisis in the best shape possible.
