"The National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC) is a network of 113 Friendship Centres and Provincial and Territorial Associations (PTAs) from coast-to-coast-to-coast.
Friendship Centres are Canada’s most significant off-reserve Indigenous service delivery infrastructure and are the primary providers of culturally enhanced programs and services to urban Indigenous residents. For over half-a-century, Friendship Centres have been facilitating the transition of Indigenous people from rural, remote and reserve life to an urban environment. For many Indigenous people, Friendship Centres are the first point of contact to obtain referrals to cultural based socio-economic programs and services.
As the national body of the Friendship Centre Movement, the NAFC is democratically governed, status blind and accountable to its membership." - National Association of Friendship Centres
