Tourism Accommodation and Commercial Recreation Relief Fund | Stream 2: BC Hydro cost relief for Indigenous-owned large accommodation providers operating on reserve

The Tourism Accommodation and Commercial Recreation Relief Fund responds to the Tourism Task Force’s recommendation to provide relief from fixed costs like property taxes, BC Hydro fees and Crown tenure and park permit fees.

One-time grants to offset certain fixed costs are available for:

• Large accommodation providers
• Tourism-based commercial recreation businesses operating on Crown land or in BC Parks

To be eligible for this grant, businesses must:

• Be majority-owned by one or more B.C. residents
• Not owe any tax payments from before the 2020 tax year
• Not have permanently ceased operations
  • Businesses that are seasonal or temporarily closed are eligible

You can only apply for one stream, even if you are eligible under multiple streams. Businesses with multiple locations can only receive one grant.

Stream 2: BC Hydro cost relief for Indigenous-owned large accommodation providers operating on reserve

Indigenous-owned large accommodation providers can receive a grant to cover up to 100% of their BC Hydro costs for 2021, up to a maximum of $200,000.

For multi-use facilities, the grant amount will be calculated based on the proportion of BC Hydro costs paid with respect to the accommodation.
