National Aboriginal Friendship Centre Program

Established in the early 1970's, the program strives to improve the quality of life for Aboriginal peoples in urban environments by supporting self-determined activities which encourage equal access and participation in Canadian societies, and respects and strengthens the increasing emphasis on Aboriginal cultural distinctiveness. The NAFC Program established baseline management and operational standards which BC augmented and strengthened:

  • Program Review Committee (PRC)

Peer support in management, administration and governance of Friendship Centre programs and boards. This voluntary committee also shares management and development information with Aboriginal community organizations to build strong local networks.
