“Friendship centres continue to provide a safe place and a voice to Indigenous clients, especially to those people living outside of traditional territories and Settlements. The relationship we continue to foster is important to the health and well-being of all Indigenous peoples, and we count on this relationship to improve health outcomes for Indigenous clients. We are honoured to sign this agreement today and look forward to continuing this valuable partnership.
The Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association supports 21 centres across the province that respond to the needs identified in the communities they serve. The centres offer programs and services, including accredited alternative schools, daycares, youth centres, employment programs, homeless shelters, cultural camps, socio-economic, health promotion and prevention and life skills programs.
“We are thrilled to be signing this momentous agreement with AHS and to have our provincial board of directors witness this very important step forward,” said ANFCA President Len Morissette. “We look forward to working with AHS to increase health outcomes for urban Indigenous people. This is a positive start on a journey between our provincial association, our community-based friendship centres, and AHS.”Article content
