Businesses with 50 or fewer employees licensed in the Jasper townsite or Jasper National Park can apply for up to $10,000 in funding, which doesn’t have to be repaid
The federal government says it’s providing close to $4-million in grants and aid to rebuild the local economy and bring back tourists.
Businesses with 50 or fewer employees licensed in either the Jasper townsite or Jasper National Park can apply for up to $10,000 in funding, which does not have to be repaid.“I've heard loudly and clearly that businesses need more support,” said Boissonnault. Mike Day, a Tourism Jasper board member and restaurant owner in town, said the funding should help many businesses survive the winter season without relying on debt, which he said is an issue some businesses are still managing after the COVID-19 pandemic.He noted that the July, which destroyed one-third of the town and more than 800 housing units, also erased what’s considered the peak tourism season for businesses as the national park largely remained closed until October.
Besides the grant funding, the federal government has pledged half a million dollars for Tourism Jasper to create programs and exhibits to lure back visitors, especially for the upcoming winter.
