Cornwall, ON – Community Futures Ontario is offering free workshops with practical information and resources for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
The workshops are part of a week long celebration of Community Futures Week, from September 21-27. Community Futures will be recognizing the people, businesses, partnerships, and communities that make rural Ontario strong, sharing stories from across Ontario, and highlighting the impact of the Community Futures Program.
Community Futures is built on a simple idea: communities are best positioned to understand their own opportunities and challenges. Through locally delivered business financing, advisory services, and community economic development support, Community Futures organizations help entrepreneurs build businesses, create opportunities, and contribute to strong and resilient rural communities.
ACCFutures is the Community Futures organization serving Cornwall, SDG and Akwesasne, delivering financing, collaborative support to small and medium sized businesses, strategic community planning and economic development solutions.
