Rural Business Initiative

From Research to Action – Phase Two Beginning now!

The Rural Business Initiative is entering its exciting second phase—a proactive, action-based approach to support rural businesses in Area C. Building on insights from our Rural Business Initiative Report we’re transitioning from research to action, directly addressing the needs of rural businesses with tailored workshops and resources.

Through education, advocacy and events, we build relationships that strengthen the local economy, not just for our members, but for all business.

Electoral Area C includes Merville, Black Creek, Dove Creek, Saratoga Beach, Arden (west of Cumberland Road), Powerhouse, Lake Trail, Marsden and Plateau Road. The northern boundary of Electoral Area C is the Oyster River, which doubles as the northern boundary of the Comox Valley Regional District.
