The National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC) provides support to friendship centres and provincial friendship centre organizations. During the mid-1950s, many Indigenous people began to move into urban centres, which led to the need for culturally appropriate community programming. Therefore, friendship centres began to emerge in the late 1960s to meet this growing community demand. Founded in 1972, NAFC’s goal was, and continues, to nationally represent this movement. The Government of Canada partnered with NAFC in 2014 to launch the Urban Aboriginal Strategy (UAC), which aimed for economic development of Indigenous communities in urban centres.
