Rocky Creek Winery in Cowichan Valley , B.C. , is closing up after nearly 20 years in business.

Owner Linda Holford said the business took on $ 60,000 in Canada Emergency Business Account debt when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The winery has since paid back all of the debt, but keeping up with increased interest payments over two years did damage to the business it just can't recover from.
