Hospitality Roundtable

Over the last couple of months several business owners have reached out to us in regards to issues/concerns they are having with health officers; capacity numbers; support funding; insurance etc. We are hoping to have an open forum for everyone to discuss the issues and concerns that they are having as well as the reality that the hospitality industry is about to go into their slowest season with even further reduced capacity as patios are now closed and the threat of having to roll back phases. As well there are a few items coming through the territorial and federal governments that can prove to be negative for the industry such as the federal excise tax increase on beer, wine, and spirits set to increase again in April; the possibility of the GNWT increasing the small business tax next yr.; and the liquor board review set for this fall
