I wanted to send a message to all our KDA Members today to offer our continued support during the current health crisis. This is a tough time for our BIA and businesses. We continue to be committed to marketing our area and supporting businesses.
We have and continue to make the necessary changes in our own office to support our staff and volunteers. We are committed to providing as much information as we can to our members to find the resources to support your business. For your convenience, our website has been updated to include a COVID-19 resource area for everyone and it has links to recovery grants that we encourage businesses to consider.
We will continue to host virtual events and avoid any in-person meetings or gatherings.
These events being hosted virtually include:
- Committee Meetings
- Crime and Homelessness Meeting
- Coffee with Cops events
- Lunch and Learn
We have created this page with additional resources for your personal and business needs. If you have any additional resources to share, please forward them to marketing@kingswaydistrict.ca.
The KDA understands that all businesses continue to face challenges and at this time we would like to encourage you to be neighbourly and supportive of each other. We want to encourage calm, compassion, and understanding as we look for ways to operate during this difficult, unpredictable
If our office can be of any service, please reach out!
Sincerely,
Ellie Sasseville
Executive Director
Kingsway District Association
