Supporting Economic Growth and Financial Literacy
The Canada Nunavut Business Service Centre (CNBSC), spearheaded by KCFI, is an integral part of Nunavut's strategy to enhance its economic landscape. Serving as a pivotal resource hub, the CNBSC provides a suite of services aimed at empowering local entrepreneurs and job seekers. The center is equipped with a small library, computer, and printer, extending these facilities for public access. These resources are crucial in aiding businesses both in their inception and expansion phases by providing vital information on funding options, accounting advice, and program software assistance. Such facilities are particularly beneficial in supporting nascent businesses that may not have immediate access to such resources, thereby strengthening the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.
In the fiscal year 2020-21, the CNBSC demonstrated its initiative by assisting over 40 clients through various channels including phone, email, and in-person consultations.
