$1000 PPE Grant For Ontario Businesses
Small businesses in Ontario have sustained massive losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Necessary rules pertaining to Covid-19 imposed by Health Canada, Province of Ontario and various levels of Government have saddled small businesses with extra costs to purchase products needed to protect staff and customers as well as prohibited them from being open for business. The costs associated with the purchase of personal protective equipment, sanitization products, signage and other costs associated to changing business models may be covered by the newly announced Ontario Main Street Relief Grant: PPE support as well as grants covering property tax and energy bills for affected businesses.
Grants of up to $1000.00 are being made available to Ontario small businesses to offset PPE costs. The Main Street Relief Grant is for eligible businesses with unexpected costs related to PPE for small businesses between 2 and 9 employees and from one of the eligible sectors. As well the grant may cover costs related to Property tax and energy bill rebates.
IF PPEONLINE or Second Chance CPR customers require copies of invoices to support these grants, please email us at info@ppeonline.ca
Applications can be submitted online today for all three grants. Go to the COVID-19 Ontario Small business website to apply. Please see information below for details. Remember, we’re in this together, please support your local small businesses and please follow the guidelines to keep each other safe.
