Local business owners in Yorkton, Saskatchewan can learn about new ways to fund and grow their companies at a free networking event on April 22, 2026. The Fueling Futures session, hosted by the Community Futures Saskatchewan Entrepreneurs with Disabilities Program (EDP), will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St Mary’s Parish Ukrainian Catholic Cultural Centre.
Attendees will have the chance to meet representatives from seven different organizations that provide support and funding to help businesses succeed. These groups include Futurpreneur, which helps young people get started; Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan; and Community Futures Ventures. Experts from the Business Development Bank of Canada, the Clarence Campeau Development Fund, the Saskatchewan Indigenous Enterprise Foundation, and the SK Startup Institute will also be available to answer questions about loans and grants.
The event is free to attend but is limited to 75 participants to ensure everyone has a chance to talk with the experts. Those interested in attending must register by April 8, 2026, to secure a spot. This gathering is designed to be a simple way for entrepreneurs to find all the resources they need in one place.
The event comes after the Government of Canada announced $910,000 in federal funding for the SK Startup Institute on March 13, 2026. This organization helped 1,373 entrepreneurs across the province in 2025 and will be at the Yorkton session to discuss how they can help local startups. Community Futures Ventures, which serves Yorkton and 84 nearby communities, is hosting the evening to help rural business owners access these growth opportunities.
