Our thoughts are with the individuals, families, businesses and communities across BC being impacted by the ongoing wildfires. ❤️

During times of crisis and uncertainty, we know that business owners can face difficult questions about both their well-being and the future of their businesses.

For those who may find them helpful, two sessions in our on-demand training library offer guidance for navigating crisis and recovery:

• Economic Recovery After Disasters
• Mental Health & Wellness in Crisis & Disasters

Explore the sessions: https://mycommunityfuturesbc.ca/supports/ondemand/

We hope these resources can offer some support to BC business owners navigating this difficult time.
