Peel Aboriginal Network Indigenous Friendship Centre

Legal name: PEEL ABORIGINAL NETWORK INDIGENOUS FRIENDSHIP CENTRE

The Peel Aboriginal Network Indigenous Friendship Centre provides cultural programs, social services, and community support to Indigenous peoples in Mississauga and the surrounding GTA region. The centre offers youth mentorship, employment training, mental health counselling, and access to traditional teachings that help Indigenous community members strengthen their cultural identity and social connections. Programs address housing assistance, food security, and educational support while creating spaces where Indigenous individuals and families can gather, learn, and access practical resources. The centre also works to bridge gaps between Indigenous communities and local services, advocating for culturally appropriate care and greater representation in decision-making processes that affect Indigenous residents.
