We are incredibly proud to be featured in the Calgary Herald for our work with the Encampment Support and Transition Program (ESTP). The article highlights our team’s commitment to providing culturally-grounded support that honours the dignity of individuals facing homelessness in our city
“There’s a lot of people that, when we let them know that we’re from the Aboriginal Friendship Centre, they get really excited to know that it’s a group that serves their community, and that definitely starts the conversation,” said Cashe Erskine, encampment co-ordinator at the ESTP.”
We invite everyone to read the full story to learn more about the challenges our relatives face and the work our team is doing to build trust and create pathways to healing.
