VANCOUVER -- The B.C. government has announced an infusion of millions of dollars in additional funding to help small and medium businesses stay afloat until step three of the province’s reopening plan. Officials say the money will fund the Small- and Medium-Sized Business Recovery Grant until July 1. “We built this grant program for the business community,” said Ravi Kahlon, B.C.’s minister of jobs, in a news release. The government says the grant program has helped 10,000 B.C. businesses, with more than 41 per cent of the money going to tourism-related businesses. “This additional support was a call to action from the Tourism Task Force to provide relief to people and businesses that were struggling,” said Melanie Mark, minister of tourism, in the same release.
