Community Futures Program

Community development organizations benefiting from the Community Futures Program (CFP) are:

• the 56 Community Futures Development Corporations, located in designated rural regions, the Réseau des SADC et CAE, and the Quebec CFDC Common Fund;
• the 10 Community Business Development Corporations, located in the suburban areas.

The CFP supports local economic development and strengthens the ability of communities to realize their full potential in a sustainable way.

Its main objectives are to promote:

• stability, economic growth and job creation;
• diversified, competitive local economies in rural areas;
• sustainable communities.

Through its network of partners, Canada Economic Development ensures that most communities in Quebec have local access to information on federal government programs and services.
