Mission Statement

 

Tillicum Haus Native Friendship Centre promotes justice, fairness and equality for Aboriginal people through a holistic approach to programming and services.  Our philosophy is one that encompasses all people in the community who request our assistance.

History

 
The Centre was incorporated in 1968.  Initially, the centre provided services to Native secondary and post-secondary students residing in the City of Naniamo.  Over the years, Tillicum Haus has grown from a coffee drop-in to a centre offering a wide variety of programs.
