We know you can’t wait

Welcome

The BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres (BCAAFC) and the Port Alberni Friendship Centre (PAFC) are honoured to host Gathering our Voices 2019 on the traditional territories of the Hupačasath and Tseshaht First Nations

From March 19-22, 2019 GOV will bring together more than 1000 Indigenous youth delegates as well as chaperones, presenters and guests to Port Alberni, BC. Young people from all across Canada are invited to join us to explore, to learn and to engage with our culture among peers.

Youth, chaperones, presenters, Elders, volunteers and other guests will have the opportunity to make new connections, rekindle old bonds, engage their passions and discover a new drive.

See you there!
