Community Economic Development:  What Is It?

It's a community working together for a secure future, working on projects designed to strengthen our overall economy and improve our overall quality of life.

Community Futures Cowichan brings together citizens, government, industry and organizations to facilitate business opportunities and action on current needs and issues. What that means is we work together with the best possible partners for any given project.  Sometimes it’s just introducing partners to one another to begin work on an economic project without further involvement from us.  Other times we take the lead on a project and surround ourselves with community members and organizations best suited to help us achieve a common goal.  Whatever the project, we work towards a community that becomes a better place for all of us.
