Message from Community Futures Mt. Waddington regarding the Coronavirus
(COVID-19)

Though Phase 3 of BC’s Restart Plan has begun, we will approach our re-opening with caution and by following the guidelines set out by WorkSafeBC.

https://www.worksafebc.com/en/about-us/covid-19-updates/health-and-safety/what-employers-should-do

In part, these plans recommend continuing to work remotely when possible. As we have been able to effectively maintain near normal operations on a remote basis, we will continue with a mix of remote and in-office operations for July and August, 2020.

During this period our office at 14 – 311 Hemlock Street in Port McNeill will be open from 8:30 – 4:30 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. If you require access to a computer, photocopying or faxing during these hours, please contact us at 250-956-2220.

Staff will continue to be available Monday to Friday by email or by phone. If you are new to Community Futures please email:
