The Manitoba government is investing $8 million for the creation of a new Hospitality Relief Sector Program. 

Premier Brian Pallister says the program will provide financial relief to Manitoba’s accommodation and tourism sector. 

He explains the Hospitality Relief Program will be administered by the Manitoba Hotel Association in cooperation with the Manitoba Lodge and Outfitters Association and it will be designed to provide support to hotels and to full time licensed resource tourism operators for fixed costs that have not been covered by other relief programs.

Grants will be provided as a reimbursement for a percentage of eligible expenses incurred. More information on the Program and how to apply will be available for eligible applicants shortly.
