Who We Are

Community Futures Boundary is a "not for profit corporation" directed by a volunteer group of citizens concerned about the economy and development of their community. Community Futures Boundary is mandated to act as a catalyst in supporting the process of community economic development. It is our goal to:

  • support diversification

  • offer skill development

  • provide training

  • make education available

to the people of the Boundary Region. Most of all, we believe in creating and supporting the
entrepreneurial spirit in our communities.

Community Futures was established by the Federal Government in 1986 to assist local communities in responding to the severe economic and labour market changes they were facing. Core funding is provided by Western Economic Diversification. Community Futres are locally based, non-profit organizations overseen by a volunteer board of directors. There are 34 active Community Futures in BC.
