Business Re-Opening Grants Available

The Town of Olds Business Support and Recovery Task Force was formed in March to support local Olds businesses impacted and closed by COVID-19. This task force is a think tank comprised of local business leaders, financial experts and representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Olds Institute and the Town of Olds. The task force launched an outreach program to better understand current conditions brought

on by COVID-19. It was determined that providing a quick and easily accessible grant was a priority and Olds Town Council responded by creating the Business Re-Opening Program. Local Storefront Businesses are eligible for a $500 grant, and home based businesses will

be eligible for a $100 grant. These funds can help businesses modify public spaces to support physical distancing requirements, purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) or other immediate supplies needed to support re-opening. Applications are available on our website at www.olds.ca and will be accepted beginning

June 1, 2020. Businesses in Olds are a vital part of our community. Now, more than ever, it is important to

stay home and support local businesses.
