History

In 2022 CFBC successfully applied for funding from the federal government to provide supports and services to rural BC businesses and non-for-profits affected by disasters and economic downturns. Services were initially available free of charge in 17 regions across BC under the brand Taking Care of Business. In September 2023, another 3 regions were added, followed by 2 more in October. In December 2023 Taking Care of Business was re-branded as myCommunityFutures and a new website was launched. The success of the re-brand and increase of clients led to an adjustment of services in Spring 2024. Shortly thereafter, myCF workshops were made available free of charge to all rural and remote regions of BC (excluding metropolitan areas). In 2025, government funding for myCF services concluded. However, due to the platform's success, CFBC has continued to provide myCF supports to startups, businesses, and non-profits. 

Community Futures British Columbia

myCF was created by CFBC, a provincial Association for a network of 34 members serving rural and remote non-metropolitan communities across BC. CFBC is part of the Community Futures Network of Canada, comprised of 267 not-for-profit offices, each operating independently to serve their respective regions. The Community Futures program was established in 1985 and is the only program mandated by the federal government to deliver business development services in rural and remote non-metropolitan communities. CFBC opened in 1992 and is located in Mission BC.
