The Community Futures Lac La Biche team is powered by its Board of Directors. Our board members really care about the community and understand the challenges of owning a business. Meet our Board of Directors:

Allan Robertson

Chair - Member at Large - IRC Committee

As a Business Instructor at Portage College, Allan is uniquely able to provide his perspective of both business and youth. He was head of the team from Portage College when students went up against 13 Alberta post-secondary institutions and won the competition. Allan is happy when he can help others succeed, and is a perfect fit for the Community Futures board.

Doug Stewart

Vice Chair - Member at Large - IRC Committee
Lac La Biche

In the past, RCDC (Community Futures Lac La Biche) helped me start and finance my business ventures, and since then, I’ve wanted to give back to the community. I am proud to be part of an organization that has been responsible for so much positive change in our community and happy to lend my considerable knowledge of the local history and dynamics to affect that change.

Peter Cardinal

Director - Member at Large
Kikino Metis Settlement

I have spent most of my adult life working in the oil industry in Alberta. In 2010, I left that industry and started to pursue my passion of trying to help our Aboriginal communities participate in the Alberta and federal economies.

As a local entrepreneur, I was aware of the many business opportunities available to people in our Region, however as an Aboriginal person I knew there were a few barriers for our people to overcome to participate within the local economy. When I found out that Community Futures had the ability to help our local people access capital to start new businesses, I was more than interested to join the Board of Directors and start helping promote business development in our Aboriginal communities. Having Community Futures help bridge that gap for our people needing access to Capital is critical to the future business startup for many in our Region. Being able to participate with an awesome group like the Lac La Biche Community Futures will enable me to help fulfill my lifelong dream of helping our Aboriginal people pursue and hopefully achieve economic self sufficiency for our entrepreneurs.
