The global pandemic has hit the fitness industry hard. With fitness facilities closing across Canada, the potential for massive closures and bankruptcies has become a huge issue. With limited to no income coming into facilities, the fitness industry needs urgent government assistance in order to survive.With rents due immediately, owners and operators of fitness facilities across Canada are encouraged to reach out to MPPs and MLAs to press for rent relief.When sending an email/letter to your MLA and MPP, please include the following information:Who you are,What you are writing about,How you feel,What you want done,A date by which you want to hear about what they are going to do, andYour name and address.Example:Dear Mr./Ms. [full name of MPP or MLA], MPP/MLA:I am the owner/operator of [name of club], which is a fitness facility in your constituency which caters to [number of members] members. Since March 17, 2020, our facility has been closed and unable to serve our members due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also had to lay-off [number of employees] employees during this time.As such, we have no income and are struggling with rent payment. This is the case for many facilities across the country.
