Join Community Futures Grenville at a 35th Anniversary Celebration September 19th

Prescott – Community Futures Grenville is proud to announce a milestone celebration marking 35 years of service to the local business community. The organization will host its Annual Meeting and 35th Anniversary Celebration on September 19 at the Maitland Tower, inviting partners, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to reflect on the past and look ahead to an ambitious future.

This year’s event will feature the unveiling of two major honours:

• The recipients of the Futures Grant, a new initiative investing $27,500 in five visionary community projects that will create a lasting legacy, and
• Four outstanding local businesses will be recognized with a one-time Lifetime Achievement Business Award, celebrating their enduring impact on the regional economy.

“In honour of our 35th anniversary, we are not only celebrating our history, but investing in the future of our region,” said Mitch Bloom, Chair. “This year’s event will be focused on recognizing those who built a strong foundation, while launching new tools to empower the next generation of business leaders.”

In addition to the awards, Community Futures Grenville will be announcing the launch of a suite of innovative programs designed to support entrepreneurs and community development.

The Annual Meeting promises to be an inspiring morning of recognition, connection, and forward-thinking leadership. Attendees will be the first to learn the names of this year’s award recipients and gain early access to information on the new programs.

Community Futures Grenville is one of 36 organizations in southern Ontario that deliver the Community Futures Program.

This is a community-driven economic development initiative designed to assist communities in Canada’s rural areas in developing and implementing strategies for dealing with a changing economic environment. This program is funded by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).
