Lincoln, ON – (January 7, 2022) - The Town of Lincoln has launched a business support line to assist our business community during the Omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the return to a modified version of Step Two of the Roadmap to Reopen, the Town wants to further support the business community with any questions or concerns related to their business and the COVID-19 pandemic. Lincoln staff are ready to provide information and assistance to businesses in need.
“We understand this is a difficult time for local businesses, and it has been a tough journey for the business community,” said Town of Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton. “I urge the business community to call the support line to be heard and seek information regarding the current restrictions, as well as seek guidance on support programs so that we can work together to get back on our path to recovery.”
"Following the announcement of new restrictions being placed on our local businesses, the Town of Lincoln is committed to providing the necessary support and resources to the hardest hit sectors of our local economy,” said Tony Brunet, Chair of the Planning and Economic Development Committee. “We encourage our local community to shop local and support Lincoln’s businesses.”

The Town of Lincoln recognizes the challenges our business community has faced throughout the pandemic and has been providing leadership and assistance since the very beginning. The launching of our Business Support Line is next phase of our recovery plan to help get Lincoln’s businesses on the path towards recovery.
