Manitoba Businesses Still Have Some Issues With Re-opening.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says that while Phase Three of the province’s reopening plan has generally been going well so far it hasn’t been without its challenges.

The Federation’s Director for the Prairies Jonathan Alward says one of the biggest things the province needs to focus on is helping small businesses cover the costs related to the compliance of COVID-19 guidelines. He explains for some businesses that’s PPE first and there’ll be hand sanitizer and dispensers, it could be signage, physical partitions which are all huge costs right now and a lot of businesses remain very cash strapped or have significant cash flow problems and he thinks it’s also going to confidence in staff and confidence in customers to come back in, support the business, shop locally and really that’s one of the biggest challenges right now facing businesses in there’s still people apprehensive to come back and shop.

Independent businesses regardless of membership status who may be struggling right now can call the CFIB’s Business Help Line toll-free at 1-888-234-2232.
