Small businesses have faced so many unexpected costs and impacts due to COVID-19. Back in September we launched a COVID-19 Grant Program to help our business community manage these unexpected expenses, invest in placemaking improvements to welcome back customers to the area, and to help businesses invest in their own staff. To date we’ve approved $13,000+ in grant funding. So far, this matching grant program will have helped invest $30,000 in recovery and improvement efforts once all ongoing projects are completed. And we’re not done yet.

We’ve extended our grant deadline to the end of February to help get more funding out the door while it is still needed. Strathcona BIA members are encouraged to apply if you have an upcoming project related to COVID-19 recovery, property maintenance, placemaking, or investing in your staff. Head to our website to learn more and apply today: bit.ly/sbiacovid19grant

We might not be out of the woods yet, but we're starting to see the light 🌟

If 2020 has reinforced anything for us, it's that Strathcona is resilient. Our community looks out for one and other. We collaborate in the face of challenges. Time and again we optimistically bounce back. And together we move forward.

As we look ahead to a new year, we find so much inspiration in the strength and integrity of this neighbourhood, and we hope you do too. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Their market runs tomorrow and Friday, Dec. 17 and 18, from 2-7pm and Saturday Dec.19 from 12-5pm at 800 East Hastings.

The entire studio and store space will be transformed into a fabulous safe shopping experience, with several health and safety measures in place, including limited numbers of people at any one time, masks and hand sanitizing required upon entry, and contact tracing regulations in place.

Enterprising Women Making Art is taking part in our #GiftBigShopSmall campaign. Spend $25 or more at 3 participating locations until Dec.20, and get $25 to support shopping small this holiday season. All you have to do is snap a picture or screenshot of your receipts, and send to info@strathconabia.com.
