A provincial membership program is adding even more benefits for local entrepreneurs in towns like Sun Peaks, thanks in part to a 2022 federal government initiative.
Launched by the Community Futures Development Association of BC (CFBC), Taking Care of Business is a membership program where business owners and nonprofits can find resources, training opportunities and direct professional support.
Current membership benefits include free peer mentoring, training workshops and consulting services for owners and employees.
Sun Peaks councillor and CFBC program ambassador Julie Kimmel said the program’s free resources have helped strengthen Sun Peaks businesses.
“The Community Futures, Taking Care of Business platform is an extremely valuable tool for businesses operating in our region,” she said. “I’d love to see more businesses from the Whitecroft and Heffley areas take advantage of the free resources offered within the program.”
