A new chapter for our business community

Dear Friends, Partners, Clients, and Neighbours,

At Community Futures Lloydminster and Region, we are constantly looking for ways to better support the entrepreneurs who make our communities thrive. Today, we are proud to share that we are bringing Startup Lloydminster and the East Central Alberta Regional Innovation Network (ECARIN) fully under the CFLR umbrella.

We have made this change for one primary reason: to serve you better. By streamlining our operations, we are reducing administrative hurdles and ensuring that every dollar and every hour is focused on your success.

 What can you expect?

  • A Seamless Experience: You now have one single point of contact for coaching, training, and financing. No more wondering which door to knock on first.

  • Comprehensive Support: From the first scribble of an idea to adopting the latest technology, our integrated team is here to guide you.

  • Consistency: While our processes will evolve to reflect this new collective, the same expert advisors you trust are still here to help.

 What This Means for You. 
This amalgamation is about more than just efficiency; it is about providing a more cohesive experience for every entrepreneur we serve.

  • For the Aspiring Creator: You will continue to find the same warm mentorship and coaching you value. With Startup Lloydminster now a core program of CFLR, we can offer even more clarity and resources to help you launch with confidence.

  • For the Skilled Tradesperson: If you are ready to stop "working for the man" and start working for yourself, our collective team will provide the precise tools and checklists you need to make that transition smoothly.

  • For the Innovator: Through ECARIN, we remain committed to ensuring our rural region has access to the training and technology adoption necessary to remain competitive in a changing market.

We invite you to visit us at our office to discuss how these expanded resources can support your goals. We are in this together, and we are honoured to be your partner in growth.

Warmly,

Matt, Corinne, Sharon, Holly, and Reagan
