Our History
Community Futures is part of a national economic development program that has been supporting small business and community economic development since 1986.
Our Community Futures office is a non-profit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors and staffed with business professionals. Our volunteers and staff work with community partners to develop and implement community-based economic development strategies.
We provide a variety of different support services – including business loans, training and coaching, and access to expert resources – to people wanting to start, expand, franchise or sell a business, and to owners of small- and medium-sized businesses in the community.
We also work in partnership with other business lenders, educational institutions, not-for-profits and community governments to grow and diversify our local economy.
Community Futures is funded in western Canada by Pacific Economic Development Canada
