Regional Relief and Recovery Fund in Canada

The Government of Canada announced this week that the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF), which includes $962 million additional support for small businesses and communities affected by the pandemic, is now available. Read the full press release here.

The RRRF is accepting applications and is specifically targeted toward those that may require additional help to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic but have been unable to access existing support measures

The six regional development agencies (RDA) will be delivering this funding. Covering every region of Canada, the RDAs are very familiar with the economic realities of their regions and are well suited to assist workers and businesses.

The funding will be allocated as follows:

• $110 million for Atlantic Canada – Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)
• $211 million for Quebec – Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
• $34.3 million for Northern Canada – Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor)
• $252.4 million for Southern Ontario – Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario)
• $49.5 million for Northern Ontario – Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario (FedNor)
• $304.2 million for Western Canada – Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD)
