The Province of BC is consulting with stakeholders on the topic of supporting BC small businesses. BOMA BC is engaging in these consultations, and specifically, providing feedback on how to support small business tenants in the lower mainland facing rising and unexpected operating costs as a result of the existing property assessment system. This includes discussion of tax deferrals or tax cuts for small business, introduction of a split assessment, and small business grants. Supporting small business also entails safety and security of workers, tenants and businesses in the downtown core. Issues of crime, vagrancy, vandalism and public safety are becoming increasingly concerning for BOMA BC members and we will be advocating to the Province for solutions within their jurisdiction.
