Online Petition Demands Recovery Plan for Tourism Sector

The Niagara Falls Chamber of Commerce is asking us to sign the online petition.

The Niagara Falls Chamber of Commerce is asking us to sign an online petition in an effort to get the federal government to come up with a recovery plan to help the struggling tourism industry.

The Chamber noting "As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, our local and national travel and tourism industry has been tremendously impacted over the past 10 months. Before the pandemic, nearly 1 in 10 Canadians worked in our travel and tourism industry."

The petition asks Ottawa to come up with a recovery plan on or before the date of the next federal budget that also includes the development, implementation and deployment of Health Canada approved vaccines and rapid testing devices. 

The petition can be found at https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3027
