History
The Community Futures Program (CFP) was formally established in 1985 and plays a key role in business development in rural and remote communities across Canada.
Community Futures Development Corporations (CFDCs) in Ontario have been delivering the CFP on behalf of the Government of Canada. CFDCs have been supporting small business development and rural economic diversification in Ontario for over 30 years.
They are community driven, non-profit corporations, each office staffed by local business professionals and guided by a volunteer Board of Directors.
