Urban Indigenous services
When the pandemic hit a year ago, food insecurity was one of the biggest problems for Indigenous people living in towns and cities across the country, says Jocelyn Formsma, executive director of the National Association of Friendship Centres in Ottawa.
The inability to hold bingos, powwows and galas to raise money for services has had a significant impact on their finances, she said. Right now, with the Indigenous Community Support Fund, we expect that we would be able to continue to provide support until about May or June, said Formsma. After that, there s a big question mark.
