In partnership with TELUS, the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship centres (BCAAFC) distributes mobile phones to Indigenous women and girls who otherwise would not have access to cellular communication. The phones will come with one year of nationwide talk and text as well as data from Koodo.
The Path Forward Community Fund is a provincial initiative funded by the B.C. Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and the federal government and administered by BCAAFC. The fund supports Indigenous-led, community-defined approaches to addressing gender-based violence through safety planning, healing, and capacity building.
Since the Path Forward Community Fund was created in 2022, more than $22 million has been invested into more than 100 Indigenous-led community projects.
