Dedicated to Helping Rural Small to Medium Sized Businesses

Each of our 15 Community Futures Development Corporations (CFDCs) is powered by local knowledge and driven by community passion.

Backed by FedDev Ontario and the Government of Canada, our Eastern Ontario network is part of a national force for rural and remote economies — 60 CFDCs in Ontario, and 267 across Canada — working together to build strong, resilient local communities.

  • Support for community-based projects
  • Business Services and Counselling
  • Business Loans up to $150,000 ($300,000 on exception)
