Westlock, Alberta

My name is Randy Letourneau and I own Creative Outlet Art Studio in Westlock, AB. We are a local sign shop specializing in hand painted lawn art, kids' medallion sport hangers and digital print business signage. 

We found Community Futures Tawatinaw Region shortly before Covid began. Their help enabled us to stock up on supplies to build up our inventory such as boards, paint, digital print media stock, and much more. 

We believed we had a great idea for a business. We also knew we needed to “do it right” from the very start, and in order to do that we knew we would require support. 

We reached out to Community Futures Tawatinaw and found the support we were looking for. Initially we received  1:1 assistance with putting together a solid business plan, we then went on to attend a variety of in-person workshops on marketing, booking keeping, networking, etc. The solid foundation we acquired was instrumental in getting our small business off to a good start. The ongoing support they have provided us over the past 5 years has proved invaluable.

"I would like to start off by thanking Community Futures Tawatinaw Region for providing excellent services provided free of charge and management of my account.  As you already know, I was faced with some large difficulties with my business over the last 3-4 years.  I originally came to Community Futures to apply for company financing as I had been rejected by the bank I held my corporate accounts with.
