| Welcome to the many
service points of Community Futures, serving 13 regions
all across Saskatchewan
The Community Futures (CF) program started
in 1985 and is now funded, federally, through Western Economic
Diversification Canada (WD). Community Futures is a grassroots
economic renewal initiative with over 1000 volunteers in western
Canada actively involved with the CF movement and the local direction
of Community Futures Development Corporations (CFDCs) - non-profit
corporations developed to help communities grow at the local level.
The main services are: business loans,
business skills training, local entrepreneur development and
community and social economic development.
The focus of Community Futures is to build social,
community economic and entrepreneurial capacity, with an emphasis
on long range planning and results. CFDCs are independent, non
profit organizations. Today, with core funding assistance provided
by WD, the CFDCs are actively engaged in a wide array of activities
in the 13 regions in Saskatchewan.
We provide services for people in rural and
northern Saskatchewan (with the exception of the cities of Regina
and Saskatoon) who are interested in setting up, expanding or
considering a small business.

Making Our Mark: Looking Back on
Our Past, Looking Forward to Our Future
By offering support, guidance, encouragement,
funding and business tools, CFDCs have made their mark on many
lives across the West. We are proud of our achievements, the relationships
we have formed, our volunteers and the communities we have strengthened.
The momentum we've gained over the past 20 years
will continue towards a dynamic and exciting future.
