History
Established in 1986, Community Futures is a federally-funded organization that assists rural communities in the development of strategies for dealing with a changing economy. Community Futures recognizes that local people and communities are best able to solve their problems and shape their futures. Community Futures Mount Waddington (CFMW) was established in 1992 and is one of 90 Community Future offices in Western Canada. We operate as independent, non-profit organizations, in partnership with Western Economic Diversification Canada.
CFMW is a non-profit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors and staffed with business professionals, who together are actively engaged in helping to develop and implement community-based economic development strategies.
Community Futures organizations are entrepreneurial development centres that provide one-on-one business training to assist individuals who are interested in self-employment or in expanding their business. Community Futures centers are proactive, progressive community organizations dedicated to strengthening both their community's entrepreneurs and their community's economy as a whole.
