About Us

Welcome to Community Futures!
The Community Futures Program is a federal initiative established in 1985 to build community, economic, and entrepreneurial capacity in rural Canada . Community Futures organizations operate independently and are regulated by the Non-Profit Corporations Act.

In Western Canada , Community Futures organizations are funded by the Department of Western Economic Diversification and are governed by a board of volunteer directors. Each organization provides a wide range of support services for business development, job creation, and quality of life in rural communities.

Community Futures Northwest is located in North Battleford and is one of 13 Community Futures organizations in Saskatchewan . The Corporation provides services to 96 communities including 16 First Nation reserves. The service region extends north to Big River, south to Wilkie and Borden, east to Shellbrook, and west to Maidstone and Marsden.
