Vibrant, well-established and representative governance<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n

Inclusive and aligned with the needs of Indigenous populations, our governance model draws on active citizen participation, leadership and community mobilization. It builds on the representation, local roots and expertise of the members of the Quebec Native Friendship Centre Movement, while affirming the legitimacy of autonomous Indigenous governance in urban environments. Made up of passionate members from across the Movement, our board of directors embodies this vision through their commitment and diversity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Beyond the strategic role it plays, this approach to governance provides a foundational framework that enables First Nations and Inuit members to assert themselves in an urban environment by fostering their community engagement, identity affirmation and contribution to social cohesion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t
