Tariff Resources

Tariffs (a tax or duty that a government places on imported or exported goods) are ever-changing. The City of Campbell River is here to support businesses and industries in adapting to both the challenges and opportunities ahead. Mayor Dahl speaks on tariffs and related challenges in this video and shares some insights on how we can all prepare.



Below are resources ranging from programs and financial assistance to expert guidance to help your business thrive. The City of Campbell River is committed to standing with our local industries and ensuring a bright future for Campbell River.


CR Grant Assist Program

The City of Campbell River Economic Development team has created a new program - CR Grant Assist. This program will allow small businesses, business groups, start-ups and innovators to access a grant writer who will be able to provide up to 5 hours of grant application review and content development.

Marla Temoin of Momentum Writing and Consulting is available to help local businesses navigate the grant application process during this unprecedented time. She will provide expertise and guidance to businesses seeking financial support to help alleviate the challenges posed by COVID-19.  Marla will help to ensure your business meets eligibility criteria, has clear objectives and develops a complete workplan that aligns with appropriate outcomes.
