Major attractions have until June 7 to apply for grant

Major tourism attractions have less than two weeks left to apply for a grant of up to $1 million. The province announced last week it set aside $50-million for the BC Major Anchor Attractions Program. Funds are available for not-for-profit organizations and businesses, and can be used for payroll, rent and “utility costs related to restarting or ramping up operations in preparation for gradual reopening.”

The application window is open until June 7, with funds provided in July.
