Regional Relief and Recovery Fund

The Government of Canada recognizes the significant impact of COVID-19 on businesses, workers and communities. The national $962-million Regional Relief and Recovery Fund (RRRF) supports businesses across Canada that have been unable to obtain funding through other federal COVID-19 response measures.

FedDev Ontario is delivering $213 million to help relieve the economic impact of COVID-19 for small businesses and $39.4 million to support rural businesses through the Community Futures Development Corporations. Visit the Regional Relief and Recovery Fund page for more information and to apply.

Additional flexibilities may be available to existing clients under FedDev Ontario’s current funding streams and past programs. For information, visit FedDev Ontario’s Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) page.
