Building communities one idea at a time.
Welcome to Community Futures Pan West, a joint initiative of the four provincial Community Futures associations that was established in 1996 and formally incorporated in 2018. Working in partnership with Western Economic Diversification Canada, the Community Futures Pan West Network provides support to the network of 90 Community Futures organizations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which provide business development services to Canada’s rural west. Our shared vision is to help create diverse, sustainable communities by supporting local, community-based economic development.
The Community Futures Pan West Network is part of a larger network of 268 Community Futures organizations across Canada. For more information about the relationship between Community Futures Pan West and the national network, please click here.
