Resources for CANADA/US Tariffs

KAST understands that in these unsure times, the more information, the better. As such, KAST has collected a host of resources for businesses in these unsure times:

On September 5, 2025 the Government of Canada announced the Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI): a temporary program to invest in small- and medium-sized businesses affected by tariffs. This program is being delivered by Regional Development Agencies across Canada. PacifiCan’s RTRI program launched on September 15, 2025 and program information is available on our website. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Program Contact if you have any questions (for businesses: PacifiCan.RTRI-SME_IRRT-PME@pacifican.gc.ca, for not-for-profits: PacifiCan.RTRI-NFP_IRRT-OSBL@pacifican.gc.ca).
