Metis Financial Corporation BC (MFCBC), in partnership with Indigenous Services Canada<\/a> and M\u00e9tis Nation British Columbia (MNBC)<\/a>, is delivering new COVID-19 grants for M\u00e9tis entrepreneurs in British Columbia.<\/h4>

MFCBC has three grant programs in the COVID-19 Business Support Fund to support M\u00e9tis Entrepreneurs. The programs cover microbusiness, small, medium, new, and community-owned businesses. These grant programs are aimed at providing financial relief to allow M\u00e9tis businesses to remain operating until the BC COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan is fully implemented in 2021. The new grant programs are also aimed at supporting M\u00e9tis businesses that may not have qualified for financial relief programs initiated earlier in the pandemic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
