“Keith Henry, B. EDPresident & CEO, Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada

It is uplifting to be able to help Indigenous tourism operators and entrepreneurs through these uncertain times and provide them with the support they need to stay afloat during the pandemic and plan for future growth.

With the support of the Federal Government of Canada’s $16 million stimulus grant fund, the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) is continuing to provide relief to many Indigenous tourism operators across the country with its COVID-19 Stimulus Development Fund.

After providing funding to hundreds of businesses and entrepreneurs this summer to help them cope through COVID-19 shutdowns, ITAC is now providing financial assistance to an additional 103 tourism operators. These businesses will receive funding totalling over $2.448 million in the form of non-repayable grants of up to $25,000. “This funding will help Indigenous tourism businesses weather COVID-19 by supporting businesses as they seek out new ways of operating in a changed world.” said Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Indigenous Services.

With this announcement, ITAC has provided assistance to 454 unique Indigenous tourism businesses with funding totalling $10,795,700. Phase Six, the final round of funding, is still to come and will support even more Indigenous tourism businesses across the country.
