About Canadian Native Friendship Centre

CNFC was organized to help Indigenous newcomers to the city with referral services and social and recreational programs.

It was, and remains, a gathering place for meetings, social events, and community gatherings. Today, the Centre continues to provide cultural, recreational and social programming.

We serve approximately 10,000 people annually through various programs, services and functions.

The Centre is able to provide these services through the work of volunteers who expend approximately 5,000 hours on an annual basis.

The vision of the Canadian Native Friendship Centre is toward an integrated, self-reliant Indigenous community who participates as urban citizens taking responsibility for their shared condition in a spirit of health, cooperation and wellness within a strong cultural base.

The mandate of the Canadian Native Friendship Centre is to improve the quality of life of Indigenous people in an urban environment by supporting self-determined activities, encouraging equal access to and participation in Canadian society while respecting Indigenous cultural distinctiveness.
