CF Parkland believes in the power of communities and the individuals who live in them. Our organization supports community economic development by investing in our region through our grants and awards. Community groups and businesses can apply for up to $3,000 in both grant categories and you can nominate as many adult and youth volunteers as you like. This is an initiative with calls for applications and nominations announced at the end of November and a deadline in the first week of February. The call for applications is always announced on our website and our Facebook page. 

Community Futures Parkland, along with partners including Skills Canada Manitoba, ACC Parkland, MVSD, PWSD, Municipality of Russell Binscarth, and private sector sponsors, organize a conference for Grade 8 female students in Dauphin and Russell. The students meet female mentors working in the trades or technology fields, participate in team-building and hands-on activities, and receive information on employment opportunities and career planning. This conference is intended to provide female role models to young women and assist them in planning their future career.
