Virtual Roundtables & One-on-One Resources: Supporting Your Business

Community Futures North Okanagan (CFNO) is hosting weekly virtual roundtables to help local business owners discuss challenges, solutions and resources around operating during the COVID-19 health crisis. Business owners can also access one-on-one support in telephone and virtual meetings with CFNO advisors.

These weekly community meetings give business owners an opportunity to connect with each other and our advisors to share and get answers to important questions, including:

• How is COVID-19 impacting your business?
• What kind of changes are you making in your business?
• Where do you need help?
• What resources are available?
