The Friendship Centre Movement has been shaped over a period of 60 years by Aboriginal leaders in communities across Canada. These dedicated men and women greatly contributed to the success and growth of today’s Friendship Centre Movement.

These are the stories of our Friendship Centre Pioneers. Please take a moment and learn more about their achievements and contributions.

We are honoured to have worked with them, and to be a part of the legacy they have created
