– Victoria Native Friendship Centre provides services to an estimated 20,000 Indigenous people living off reserve in the greater Victoria area, the 5,000 residents from the First Nations communities in the southern Vancouver Island region, and a sizeable Indigenous population from across Canada.
– Indigenous Perspectives Society is a charitable and not-for-profit social enterprise that offers specialized training and consulting services to help foster a deeper understanding of Indigenous perspectives, cultural differences, and the need for self-determination. Supporting Indigenous children, families, and communities is at the heart of IPS.
