The VNFC mandate is to meet the needs of Native people in the Greater Victoria area by providing them with services and information designed to enhance traditional values and cultures of the Native Peoples.
Dedicated to improving the quality of life for Aboriginal people in the Greater Victoria area, the Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC) began as a meeting place in the city—providing limited referral services to community members. The Friendship Centre opened its doors in April, 1970. It was a one-room facility located on the corner of Yates and Broad Streets in the heart of downtown Victoria. The Centre was run by an Executive Director on a small grant from the provincial First Citizen’s Fund. The Centre quickly became a much-valued meeting place for Aboriginal peoples new to Victoria. Unfortunately, financial concerns forced the Centre to close its doors in November of that year.
