The Beaver River Community Futures Corporation was established in 1988, and the Beaver River Business Development Corporation in 1989. In 1994, these two corporations merged into what is now the Beaver River Community Futures Development Corporation (BRCFDC). Today, we serve 46 communities in northwest Saskatchewan, in an area covering 120,000 square kilometers.

Together, we work as partners with business and their communities to provide services that instruct and inform, as well as provide leadership and support of local initiatives. This support comes both as business support service, and loans. In the past 20.5 years the Corporation has issued 1333 loans totaling over 35 million and has leveraged an additional 41 million.

Our core operating funding, investment capital and special funds are provided by the federal government through Western Economic Diversification Canada. This support is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to Community Futures Development Corporations in Saskatchewan.
