A new program has been passed by Town of Creston Council to help local businesses deal with added operating costs due to measures enacted by the Public Health Officer.
The Community Health Initiative Program (CHIP) will provide a free 2021 business licence as well as an initial donation of signage, disposable masks and hand sanitizer to any business who chooses to participate.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge us as individuals and a community, we have seen so many people step up and show what strength and resilience looks like”, said Creston Mayor Ron Toyota. “We know that our community takes the Provincial Health Officer’s Orders and directions seriously, and everyone is doing their part to support each other, as best as they can. As a Council, one of the greatest actions that we can take is to support our businesses who have made significant changes to their businesses and business models for the betterment of our community.”
