Friendship Centres are not-for-profit and charity corporations that are mandated to serve the needs of our community members.

All programs for the Indigenous Friendship Centre are available to those who are Status, Non-Status, Métis, or Inuit. We will not turn away anyone from attending programming or receiving services. Some individual programs may have additional referral requirements such as N’Mminoeyaa Health Clinic, Life Long Care, Employment Unit. Call the Program Coordinators for more specific program. Our Beliefs:

In providing a safe and secure environment for the people we serve
In the freedom of the individual’s right to choose their belief
In the equality of all ages and races
In promoting the wholistic approach to a healthier way of life, and
In the reinforcement and revitalization of our Indigenous heritage.

Today marked our final protein pack and hygiene kit distribution day with our Reaching Home Program for the 2025 season. Note: We offer this service once a month, no specified date. We offer a free hot lunch to the community every Tuesday & Thursday from 12pm to 1pm- while supplies last.

We want to send a heartfelt miigwech to Canadian Tire, Sysco, Giant Tiger, Jackie Rancourt for the knitted outerwear donation and especially our phenomenal staff, who came together to make blankets and to make this all possible. Your generosity, time, and care truly make a difference for our relatives and community.

We look forward to returning in 2026 to continue supporting our relatives 💛

One year after announcing this project, we are excited to share the build of our 30-bed transitional home for Indigenous men taking shape.

Construction began in July, and each step forward reflects the strength and support of our community. Opening Summer 2026, this space will offer healing, stability and hope.
