Though not going under the name of Friendship Centre, Flin Flon’s first “centre of friendship” was encompassed in the home and person of the late Nancy (Granny) Cadotte. For many years her home was the focal point for Aboriginal people traveling to Flin Flon. At the age of 78, Granny Cadotte retired, leaving a great need to be filled.

The idea of a Friendship Centre then originated in 1964. Studies indicated that a combination Friendship Centre and Hostel would address our community needs. Donations from service clubs and a bank loan backed by local citizens provided the necessary capital to purchase property.

The Friendship Centre opened in May 1966, incorporating under the Companies Act with the Province of Manitoba April 28, 1967.

Today, the Friendship Centre has evolved to deliver a multitude of programs, services, and activities from within and outside of our multi-complex facility.

The Flin Flon Indian-Metis Friendship Association Inc. is a non-profit, community based charitable organization governed through a voluntary Board of Directors.

The Friendship Centre is resourced through funds accessed from Federal, Provincial, Municipal Governments, Foundations, Economic Development activities and Fundraising
