Happy Business Owners and Our Valued Community Partners
The lunch and learn workshops were helpful to our clients looking to enter into small business/entreprenuership.
Georgia Monague, Community Economic Development Officer, Beausoleil First Nation, Christian Island 
The team at NSCFDC is truly wonderful! Chris and Lois care about our community and offer incredible resources and support to our business owners. Along with having a genuine interest in our businesses succeeding, they offer years of experience and expertise and are a wealth of knowledge for our region. We hope to have the opportunity to work with the NSCFDC team on many future projects!
Cathy Tait, General Manager, Southern Georgian Bay Chamber of Commerce
Community Futures helped to make my dream of being a business owner come to life, and over the last 4 years they have continued to support me, offering guidance and assistance both personally and professionally as my business grows. I wish I had learned about Community Futures sooner, as their services are a great opportunity for entrepreneurs. I highly recommend them to anyone with a dream.
Vanessa Puddicombe, Sundara Spa and Academy, Penetanguishene
From the moment we opened our doors, we felt the support of the NSCFDC. In our first year we had a business mentor assigned to us who was really helpful. Over the years the staff have always suggested programs appropriate for us to participate in and we've benefitted in many ways: advice, funding and moral support. I highly recommend any business get involved and discover what they offer.
Liz Frost, Sugar Ridge Retreat Centre, Tay
The one-on-one consulting you can receive (free!) from NSCFDC is an incredible resource. Lois has provided wise advice and insight many times over the years. This helped me in clarifying my message, connected me with others for networking, collaborating and marketing and helped me in solidifying my business model. NSCDFC services and support over the years has helped me immensely.
Cher Cunningham, Mindful Entrepreneur, Midland
The County of Simcoe’s Economic Development Office has partnered with the North Simcoe Community Futures Development Corporation on numerous projects and events. The leadership that North Simcoe CFDC has provided has created events that are geared towards the local community’s needs and provide relevant and timely information. We enjoy the opportunity to work with the North Simcoe CFDC team.
Becky Breedon, Economic Development Officer, County of Simcoe
Lois was so beyond helpful in assisting me with all of my business goals. She was able to teach me how to create a business plan which helped solidify my business goals.
