We’ve always got news and smiles to share.
We are thrilled to officially introduce the newest addition to the Community Futures North Okanagan team! Joining us as our Human Resources Manager, Linda brings a wealth of experience and a passion for making a meaningful impact in the non-profit sector.
When she’s not supporting our team’s growth, Linda is a true North Okanagan local at heart—you’ll find her snowboarding, mountain biking, or swimming with the local Masters Program. 🏂🚴♀️
Please join us in giving Linda a warm welcome! We’re excited to see her leadership in action as we continue to drive our mission forward.

Last night, we came together for an inspiring & collaborative event to mark #InternationalWomensDay 💕
“A Seat at the Table: Conversations for Women in Business” brought together Dolly Reno of Noble Yoga Studio and 30 local business owners and women in leadership for an evening of meaningful conversations and 1:1 networking.
“‘Win or learn’ is a big piece for me, because if I stopped every time I failed, I wouldn’t be here today.” - Dolly Reno
Our offices in downtown Vernon were transformed with long tables, flowers and twinkle lights - all to encourage and inspire conversations.
This event was about real connections, shared honesty, and collective growth.
As always, Community Futures North Okanagan offers employment, business and economic development services to help residents build their future and the community.
A sincere thank you to Thewebc and Community Futures British Columbia for their support of our event for International Women’s Day. We also recognize the funding support provided by the Government of Canada through the Women’s Entrepreneurship Strategy.
