Small Business Counselling
Wawa MAT Fund Application
The Wawa MAT Fund Committee is now accepting applications for funding through the Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT). The Wawa MAT Fund is a non-repayable contribution to support tourism-related projects, events, and initiatives that strengthen the local visitor economy and enhance community vibrancy.
Municipal Accommodation Tax revenues are collected from local motels/hotels and short-term rentals from patrons. The funds collected are then reinvested into initiatives that promote tourism, improve visitor experiences, encourage economic activity, and support projects that benefit both residents and visitors.

Project
The Pilot Immigration Program for Francophone Communities offers permanent residence (PR) to skilled workers who wish to work and settle in more remote rural and Francophone communities.
We have selected six communities that could benefit from the presence of skilled newcomers and have demonstrated that they can also support them. They will authorize certain employers to hire for positions that they are unable to fill with local workers.
Important Notice: Please do not contact us via email listed on this website for job inquiries. All candidate inquiries must go directly to the employer.
