The founders of the Timmins Native Friendship Centre were inspired to make a difference by helping the many First Nations People migrating to the city of Timmins.  They embraced the responsibility and were inspired to strengthen the people’s well-being with the establishment of the friendship centre.  From those early days the Timmins Native Friendship Centre has become known as the largest service provider for urban Aboriginals.  In recognition of the ever changing society in which we live, we remain dedicated to improving the quality of the lives of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in our community.  Our philosophy is one that encompasses all people in the community who request our assistance.  Today the Centre continues to embrace their responsibility to continue to create positive changes and build a bridge of understanding between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people.
