LETHBRIDGE HERALD

The Lethbridge Region Economic Recovery Task Force has issued a survey to hear from local businesses about how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting them and what information and support they need during this time.

“This survey will be an invaluable tool for the Economic Recovery Task Force to understand what businesses are going through as they adapt to COVID-19, but also as we move forward, recover and return to growth,” said Trevor Lewington, CEO, Economic Development Lethbridge and team leader for External Communications for the Task Force, in a release.

The survey, which can be completed in two minutes, asks a few questions about the impact that COVID-19 has had on businesses, changes that businesses have made to adapt to the ongoing situation, challenges they continue to face and challenges they expect to face as recovery begins.

The Lethbridge Region Economic Recovery Task Force is doing everything possible, in full co-operation with provincial and federal governments, to minimize the economic impact, support businesses and employers, and see an economic recovery take place as soon as possible.

“We are asking ALL businesses to participate in this survey,” added Cyndi Vos, executive officer, Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce and team leader of the Barriers to Business pillar of the task force. “I know this is a very difficult time for business owners, managers and entrepreneurs but bringing your voice to the data will help shape policy decisions and pinpoint exactly what businesses like yours really need.”
