Joining @Adam_Stirling shortly to chat about the new #BC restrictions on businesses. Tune in with CFAX 1070
Thanks @MikeSmythNews for having #CFIB on to talk about the new business restrictions in #BC - lifelines are still needed for #smallbiz, more clarity around support for restaurants and gyms who were forced shut as of midnight is needed. #bcpoli

Port Coquitlam businesses - reach out. We’ve established an “One Stop Shop” Biz Hub to support businesses and our outdoor space/patio program is one call away. No red tape, no fees. Let us help you - and to our residents: let’s have local biz back, shop local, order local.
Local Businesses - We're here for you!
We encourage you to make use of your outdoor space. This program is a “one-stop shop” for approvals while waiving application, security and other fees. Info: business@portcoquitlam.ca or 604-927-5266. portcoquitlam.ca/bizhub.
Greater restrictions means it’s more difficult for #smallbiz to bring workers back & keep them employed, or make enough revenues to keep their doors open/reopen them when restrictions are lifted... additional support is needed to offset the restrictions.
#CFIB's statement on new restrictions impacting BC restaurants and fitness facilities is now live: cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/news-r…

BC has worked hard to keep as many small businesses open as possible during the pandemic. The province has not used a "lockdown forever and forget to reopen" approach like Ontario. But this move is going to hurt many BC small firms.

Metro Vancouver restaurants grappling with news that as of midnight they won't be able to have indoor dining - just take out and patio seating until April 19th. @ChefHawksworth stuck with food he can't sell & staff who won't be able to pay rent. @CKNW

Small businesses in BC face longer road to economic recovery according to @murprotzer of @cfibBC | bit.ly/3qQYjFJ #CityOfPG #northernbc #smallbusiness

Some good news for small businesses today. Wage and rent subsidy formulas will stay the same until June and revenue comparisons can continue to be made to pre-pandemic revenue. But so much more still needed. cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/news-r….

I agree with @PtFry @sarahkirby_yung this is a critical consideration in hiring a new city manager.

A really great example of modernizing regulations, & during Red Tape Awareness Week no less! Thank you @CityofVancouver Mayor and Council!
"The regulations that were in existence only allowed neighbourhood grocery stores that had been in operation prior to 1980,"
One of the silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the push for us to buy local. Now, some new zoning amendments in Vancouver may make that easier to do bit.ly/3pkW3X5
Muriel Protzer retweeted
So happy Council passed initial zoning bylaw amendments to allow NEW neighbourhood grocery stores across city in response my #cornerstores motion. Great quick start action. NGS’s build connections and support livable communities.
More to come on farm stands, local stores...
Thanks @MineerBrett for chatting with #CFIB on @RadioNLNews earlier to talk about possible business closures and job losses
25,000 BC business owners are considering closing as a result of the pandemic - see News Release here: cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/econom…
