Community Futures is part of a national economic development program that has been supporting small business and community economic development since 1986.  There are 269 Community Futures offices in rural communities across the country, with 34 of those in BC. 8 offices serve Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

Our Community Futures office is a non-profit organization guided by a volunteer Board of Directors and staffed with business professionals. We work with community partners to help foster entrepreneurship and economic development in our region.

VISION: Building a Sustainable Business Commmunity

MISSION STATEMENT: Providing leadership, resources and infrastructure to entrepreneurs and community organizations for the benefit of local economic growth and development.
