Guelph Mayor Cam Guthrie says a newly created economic recovery task force will support local businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
He announced the task force during a special virtual meeting of city councillors on Thursday evening. “While the health and safety of our community remain my primary concern, I also recognize the need to ensure businesses are supported and well-positioned to rebound from this crisis as quickly as possible,” Guthrie said.
The city said the task force is expected to work with Guelph’s business community with a goal to protect the local economy by working with governments and sharing insights across various sectors.
