Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls Awareness
The UNFC continues our efforts to raise awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. We remember the people that have lost their lives to gender-based violence, not just for one day but all year long through the programs and services we offer. The UNFC Wall of Rememberance is here for anyone to come and post a red dress in honour of a loved one. Stop by the Centre at 427 Mowat Avenue.

UNFC Message of Positivity and Kindness
We were challenged by the Sault Ste. Marie Friendship Centre to spread a message of kindness and we happily accepted! Our staff came together (seperately) to spread this message of positivity to our community and to all of our sister Friendship Centres across Canada. Please be kind to one another; a simple smile or act of kindness can turn someone's day around for the better. At this time we all need kindness, patience, understanding and positivity to keep our community, country and world a safe place for everyone. View our message here UNFC Positivity & Kindness
