I have been with Community Futures since March 2013 and can honestly say I fell into a job that I love. With over 30 years of previous management and business ownership experience including two new businesses, I relate to business owners and entrepreneurs. I thoroughly enjoy hearing the next new idea that comes through the door, and enjoy navigating someone from idea to reality. I am lucky to have a talented and skilled team and we are here to help.

Lac La Biche has been home for me and my family for many years. In the course of my career I have worked with individuals and small business at financial institutions, colleges and oil & gas companies. I look forward to assisting entrepreneurs as they take on opportunities and face challenges in our changing economy.

Krissa Kirechuk
Business Advisor/Executive Assistant

With the desire for challenges in learning and success, I’ve taken on a multitude of roles and responsibilities in past employment. Having worked the construction industry as an Electrician, an educational background in Petroleum Engineering and now changing directions with an interest in Office Administration, there is nothing I wouldn’t be willing to try. I look forward to working and learning with the staff Community Futures Lac La Biche to assist others that are looking to find new directions in their own endeavours and professions.

As a graduate of the Portage and NAIT Bachelor of Business Administration Program, I have acquired skills and knowledge in the areas of accounting, finance, management, business strategy, marketing, leadership, and organization design. I was given the opportunity to test these skills in 2021 by competing in the Alberta Deans of Business Case Competition, which brings together Alberta's best business students with the opportunity to compete in a case study. The teams are required to develop beneficial solutions for real-world business problems. My team that represented Portage College took first place against all the major business schools in Alberta. I look forward to using the skills and knowledge I acquired to be part of the development of our local businesses and communities in the Lac La Biche region.
