It’s been a challenging few months for Canadians as we battled through COVID-19; but we came together, as Canadians do, and now we’re starting to see restrictions ease. As we celebrate Canada Day, we’re celebrating the strength and resiliency of Canadians, through history and over the past few months! Our celebrations may look different this year, but there’s still a lot we can do to recognize Canada Day while staying safe and having fun!

This Canada Day, we’re thankful for the dedicated healthcare professionals and essential workers who fought for all Canadians on the front lines against COVID-19. 

We’d also like to thank our Government of Canada partners at the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, who worked diligently with us to provide loan relief and working capital funding to help the rural small business community and main street businesses, navigate this difficult time.

The CBDCs hope everyone continues to stay safe and protect against COVID-19, even as we work to support our local businesses and re-open our economy. If possible, please consider supporting local businesses by shopping locally! 

Our Atlantic Canadian tourism businesses have been hit hard due to the COVID-19 pandemic and need our help! As COVID-19 restrictions are beginning to ease in many of our Atlantic Canadian provinces consider taking a STAYCATION and get out to see the beauty your province has to offer!  And always comply with public health guidelines and take safety precautions to protect against COVID-19.  

Although COVID-19 restrictions are easing, we must remain vigilant!  Always comply with public health guidelines and take safety precautions to protect against COVID-19. If you are considering travelling this summer, ensure you’re following the necessary safety precautions and travel restrictions.

Thank you for stopping by our website on this Canada Day, if you’re a small business owner in rural Atlantic Canada, or interested in becoming one, the CBDCs are here to help and we’d love to hear from you.
