Earlier this week, under the leadership of Minister Doug Horner, the Government of Alberta introduced its Hand-Up Plan to support the 1,500 small businesses and 400 not-for-profit groups affected by the floods. Under the plan, they are partnering with financial institutions to provide low-interest loans and interest rebate programs to help businesses and communities recover and rebuild. Business owners can determine their eligibility by contacting their financial institution or by visiting the website here: http://alberta.ca/Small-Business-Recovery-Program.cfm.
