Mahone Bay businesses and employers!

Looking to make your workplace or business more accessible? Two grant opportunities are available to help fund accessibility improvements:

1. Provincial: Business Access-Ability Program
Expressions of Interest are now open for projects that improve accessibility in businesses and workplaces. This is an early step, not a funding application. Funding applications are expected to open in December 2026.

To submit an Expression of Interest, you can contact the program officer at this email for more information: (902) 220-8812 | [email protected]

2. Federal: Enabling Accessibility Fund
Small businesses (up to 99 employees) and eligible organizations can apply for up to $50,000 to remove workplace accessibility barriers. Applications are open on an ongoing basis.

Learn more and apply - https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/funding/enabling-accessibility-fund-express-workplace-accessibility-grant/overview.html
