Two advocacy groups are asking the City of Edmonton to provide financial relief to business owners whose operations have been affected by local construction disruptions to the point of closure.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and the Stony Plain Road Business Association (SPRBA) are calling on Edmonton’s mayor and city council to provide financial assistance to businesses that have been “impacted by projects that are disruptive to their operations,” according to a July 29 joint letter.
