A variety of federal and provincial grants, loans, tax credits, and support programs are available to help businesses become and remain successful.
Explore federal and provincial incentives and initiatives with the Concierge Service. This tool is a Government of Canada program that offers free, customized advice to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), connecting them to funding and support programs that will help them grow their business through innovation. Innovation Advisors with extensive technical and entrepreneurial backgrounds are located in communities across the country. Their own business experiences working with innovation support programs are an invaluable resource for Canada's SMEs.
Our office is here to assist businesses throughout the funding application process. Accompanying letters of support from the City can also be provided to supplement the application package upon request.
The City has been a big force in both helping us start up the business and also getting started with the people and incentives that are required to get going.
