In March 2020, communities across the province – and across the country – started to deal with the rapidly evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation which profoundly changed daily life and the operations of many businesses, schools and workplaces, including our team at Encorp.
We realize that this public health crisis has also had a profound impact on redemption centres and could continue to be felt long after citizens start returning to a more normal life after self-isolation. To help ease the financial burden of the COVID-19 pandemic, Encorp has committed itself to providing advances of handling fees to all New Brunswick redemption centres based on individual averages. These handling fees will be recuperated once things return to normal and help provide much needed financial stability for centres in the short term while we weather this crisis.
