Annual Events

Aboriginal Day

June 21 is National Aboriginal Day in Canada – when we recognize and honour the cultures and contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people. At the Friendship Centre, we celebrate with a barbeque, traditional dancers, and by holding the Joanne Peter Memorial Soapberry Whipping Contest and Fred George Memorial Moose Calling Contest, as well as other fun events. Come out and celebrate our unique heritage and diverse cultures with us – everyone is welcome! We gratefully acknowledge the support of Safeway Canada in sponsoring our barbeque, as well as multiple community volunteers. We couldn’t do it without you!

Annual General Meeting

The Friendship Centre hosts their Annual General Meeting in September of each year. Over dinner we hear the Executive Director’s and annual programming reports; we also elect the following year’s Board of Directors.

Everyone is welcome! Please note that if you would like to participate as a voting delegate, we must receive your membership application no later than August 15^th.

Christmas dinner

Thanks to generous donations from the community and the support of volunteers, the Centre hosts Christmas dinner at the Hall every December. This event is free and opened to the public. It’s a great chance for people to connect and socialize – check out some pictures below!
