Have you lost your job or closed your business because of COVID?

So often, the numbers don't tell the whole story.

COVID-caused job losses and business closures show up in statistics, but the figures don't humanize the problem.

Have you lost your job because of the pandemic?

Has the virus forced you to close your business?

If so, KelownaNow wants to hear from you so we can tell your story.

We expect you to be candid and pose for a photo to go with any resulting article.

Together we can shine a light on the true toll of COVID with stories of real people with real unemployment and real business failure.

Hopefully, the stories can also look forward to better times when a vaccine and economic rebound helps people go back to work and be entrepreneurial.

If you'd like to share your story please contact KelownaNow business reporter Steve MacNaull at smacnaull@nowmediagroup.ca or 236-266-0202.
