"New Services for Rural BC Entrepreneurs Through myCommunityFutures"
In 2022 Community Futures British Columbia successfully applied for funding from the federal government to provide supports and services to rural BC businesses and non-for-profits affected by disasters and economic downturns. Services were initially available free of charge in 17 regions across BC under the brand name Taking Care of Business. In September 2023, another 3 regions were added, followed by 2 more the following month. In December 2023 the program was re-branded as myCommunityFutures and a new website was launched.
Funding for myCommunityFutures’ free services and the $5,000 Business Training Reimbursement is provided by Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan). Visit PacifiCan.
myCommunityFutures was created by Community Futures British Columbia (CFBC), a provincial Association for a network of 34 members serving rural and remote non-metropolitan communities across BC. CFBC is part of the Community Futures Network of Canada, comprised of 267 not-for-profit offices, each operating independently to serve their respective regions. The Community Futures program was established in 1985 and is the only program mandated by the federal government to deliver business development services in rural and remote non-metropolitan communities. CFBC opened in 1992 and is located in Mission BC. Visit CFBC.
