Good Morning All, The PM has just announced that the Rent Relief Program will be extended to cover the month of August. For those of you who have been able to work with your landlords and use this program I know you've been waiting for this update.

There are still a few who can't - in our BIA this would apply to our Danforth Music Hall. During City Council yesterday, Mayor Tory put forward a motion which was accepted that details a few enhanced limitations for businesses opening in Stage…

Good Afternoon All, Tomorrow (Tuesday, July 7) it will be mandatory in the City of Toronto to wear a face mask when inside a business. Some of you have asked if there is a poster that you can print - Councillor Fletcher's office was able to help with this - attached please find a poster that you can print off and post at the entrance to your business. I've also attached an information poster on how to properly wear a…
