Community Futures Boundary Service Changes
Effective November 2020, Community Futures Boundary is excited to announce a change in program service delivery in the West Boundary, which will see staff delivering services in three communities in the West.
For the past 27 years, Community Futures Boundary’s western operation has been located at a storefront in Greenwood, but 2020 has created the opportunity to move programs out into several communities in the West, allowing for better exposure and more robust service delivery. “The location has served us very well, and we are incredibly grateful to the building owners, the City of Greenwood and all its citizens for all the support we’ve received over the years”, says General Manager Jennifer Wetmore.
Board Chair David Turner echoes Wetmore’s gratitude to Greenwood, and notes COVID 19 has posed significant economic challenges globally which have resulted in the opportunity to move the WorkBC program into several communities, rather than anchoring it in one. “We really believe that by meeting clients where they are “at”, we will be providing more accessible service at a time when folks really need support in seeking and securing long term employment”.
WorkBC staff will be available, on a rotating schedule, in Greenwood, Midway and Rock Creek three days a week and will be available to meet with clients on a drop in basis, as well as by appointment.
Effective November 10, 2020, the schedule will be:
Tuesday in Midway at 540 7th Avenue from 9am-3pm
Wednesday in Rock Creek at Riverside Centre – 3990 Hwy 3 from 9am-3pm
Thursday in Greenwood TBA from 9am-3pm
To make an appointment please call 250 445 6618 or 250 442 2722.
