The provincial government is expanding its Risk Recognition program to include more front line workers affected by COVID-19.
The program is a federal cost-share program meant for workers who’ve continued to work and face risks throughout the COVID-19 situation.
The payment is available to part-time and full-time front line workers in various positions including health care, social services, justice, transportation, food and beverage, and essential retail.
The $120 million program has now been expanded to hotel workers (reception, cleaners, maintenance, kitchen staff, servers) and business improvement zone staff (patrol, graffiti removal, street cleaners, distributors of COVID-19-related education material and Personal Protective Equipment).
The province has extended the application deadline until Monday, June 29 at noon.
