The City of Campbell River has partnered with Spring Activator, a global incubator and accelerator that empowers entrepreneurs and entrepreneur ecosystem organizations, to create the Launch Challenge, a newly-established $10,000 grant fund.

We’ve pulled together and worked hard to “flatten the curve”. As a result, we are now in Phase 3 of B.C.’s Restart Plan. We’re seeing some businesses and organizations reopen their doors, and more people going out to visit those locations. But along with the optimism this brings, there’s still a sense of uncertainty.

With the shock of COVID-19 changes wearing off and people planning for a new normal, the City of Campbell River is sharing strategies to help local businesses move into a recovery phase.

Launching May 12, Campbell River Streaming Forward online resiliency program will guide entrepreneurs through a restart phase. Building blocks include: how to assess current state and opportunities, creating a clear action plan, and tangible tools and resources to implement the plan.
