Growth Start Fund
A partnership between the Savings and Credit Unions of British Columbia; Community Futures Development
Corporations; and Western Economic Diversification Canada will provide an innovative source of funding for
small businesses in the communities of British Columbia.
The primary investors in the fund, the Savings and Credit Unions are supporting community economic
development (CED) in their communities, and strengthening their common bond with the CFDCs.
Western Economic Diversification Canada is also funding and supporting the operation of the partnership, which
is an ideal model of public/private cooperation to help the economies and the small businesses of our
communities.
Community Futures Development Corporations of British Columbia are the engine of the Fund, providing
information, support and application access and processing through 34 CFDC locations in the Province
including Sto:lo Community Futures.
For more information on the new GrowthStart Program contact Sto:lo Community Futures or visit
