2 HISTORY OF THE ONTARIO FEDERATION OF INDIGENOUS FRIENDSHIP CENTRES (OFIFC) In 1971, the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC) formed in direct response to the growing needs of Indigenous people, assisting those who relocated from remote reserve communities to urban centres throughout Ontario. Today, 84% of Indigenous people in Ontario live off- reserve in small towns and large urban city centres, seeking a better life and contributing to the urban landscape. Representing a network of 28 member Friendship Centres in Ontario, the OFIFC is Ontario`s largest off- reserve Indigenous service delivery structure. With a collaborative emphasis on research, policy development, program implementation and evaluation, the OFIFC is positively transforming the lives of Indigenous people in areas of healthy child and youth development, education achievement, employment and training skills acquisition, housing and homelessness, justice, health and mental health. Over 500 Friendship Centre staff provide services in 28 Friendship Centres and key delivery sites throughout Ontario. All are trained in program outcomes, cultural competency, governance, community engagement, and professional development. Every year, over 120,000 units of service are collectively provided to urban Indigenous people throughout Ontario, from Atikokan to Windsor. Friendship Centres in Ontario are trusted community hubs for many urban Indigenous people who increasingly are participating in the evolving dynamic of Canada`s largest province by regaining their culture, dignity and pride.
