The Prince George Native Friendship Centre (PGNFC) delivers programs and services through a lens of reconciliation, as we have been doing since the inception of the PGNFC for the past 50 years. A key component of this journey is ensuring the voices of each person are heard and included in our trauma informed and culturally dynamic approach; this perspective is critical to reconciliation. We respect and honor people's stories as they share their experiences, perspectives, and beliefs in the direction we are taking as an organization; we view this as a strengths-based process, where we build upon the multitude and diversity of existing strengths.
