The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres works for and on behalf of our 25 Friendship Centres. That will always be our goal.
Our work and advocacy is to ensure our members are informed, supported, and able to care for and support their communities.
We lead by example. We do what we say we are going to do and we do it well. You can read all about our priorities, accomplishments, and impact—as well as the impact of our Friendship Centres—in our 2023-24 Annual General Report.
BCAAFC and BWSS, in partnership with the University of Victoria, engaged in a community-based research project involving surveys and first-hand interviews to understand, raise awareness, and engage in advocacy about the experiences of intimate partner violence that Indigenous women and gender diverse people are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
