The National Association of Friendship Centres, AGM

The AFCS team was blessed and thankful to attend the National Association of Friendship Centres Annual General Meeting, in Victoria, British Columbia.

The NAFC AGM was a wonderful event that held workshops, meetings, and an array of business and celebrations. We are reflecting on what it means to be part of something that has an impact on over a million urban Indigenous people in communities as big as Toronto, or as small as La Loche.
