Our Programs

BUSINESS SERVICES

• We provide business advice and counselling to encourage the creation and expansion of local business ventures, thus providing employment opportunities. 

SMALL BUSINESS LOANS

• To support the creation/maintenance of jobs in the business community through the investment/loan fund.

COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

• To work in cooperation with municipalities and local organizations on community economic development projects and activities.

All CFDCs, including LAMBAC, create and implement strategic plans that guide local economic development. A broad cross section of community stakeholders — normally including the private sector, not-for-profit organizations, municipalities, education, labour and First Nations — cooperate to build a vision for their community.

LAMBAC's strategic plans run in five-year terms. The 2010-2015 is now being completed, including a review of the implementation of the 2005 - 2010 plan. This review concluded that this implementation was largely successful and continues to have a positive impact on the regional economy.

Here you will find downloadable pdf's of our recent Strategic Plan documents, the core values of the Strategic Plan Vision Group, an outline of the strategic planning process, and a list of the priority projects contained in the current strategic plan.
