Over 50 local tourism-oriented businesses are getting a helping hand.
Thanks to funding from FedDev Ontario, Peterborough & the Kawarthas Economic Development is providing non-repayable contributions of up to $20,000 to support costs associated with adapting to public health measures and safely reopening.
President and CEO, Rhonda Keenan, says COVID-19 has really hurt the tourism industry and in turn, the local economy.
Emily Martin of Showplace Performance Centre explains how they used the funding.
Peterborough-Kawartha MP Maryam Monsef says the Greater Peterborough Region has long been known for its hospitality, and local pride is evident in the tourism businesses that operate here. This investment is directly supporting more than 50 of our local tourism-oriented businesses and maintaining about 100 valuable jobs in our area.
