Our Organization

We are proud to be Muskoka's Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC). CFDCs support community economic development across Canada by assisting rural communities to strengthen and diversify their economies.

Incorporated in 1987, the Muskoka Futures operates throughout the Muskoka region as a community-based, not-for-profit organization partnering with the District of Muskoka, local municipalities, businesses, individuals and other community organizations to promote sustainable economic development.

Muskoka Futures' most valuable resource is our people.
