The Brooks Region is taking immediate action to help local businesses as we face challenges as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
We're working with our local, provincial and federal partners to gather information and resources to assist you as you work through the impact this has on you and your business.
We will continue to update this page with new information and resources as they become available.
Two main sources of information to keep your eye on as they are constantly updated and the government(s) are working to provide assistance to businesses is:
The Government of Canada - Support for Businesses
Province of Alberta - Financial Supports for Businesses
We're using Business Link's resources as they are Alberta's entrepreneurial hub which provides support and guidance for entrepreneurs.
Here is a link to the most up-to-date information available to businesses in Alberta:
