WELCOME TO ANCR’S ALL NATIONS FAMILY RESOURCE
CENTRE AND SNOWBIRD LODGE CULTURAL CENTRE
A Message from our Agency Board of Directors
The ANCR Board of Directors gathered for a workshop on Policy Governance at
the new ANCR All Nations Family Resource Centre and Snowbird Lodge Cultural
Centre in November. We are grateful for all who have created a culturally sensitive
and welcoming environment.
Thank you for the invitation to start our time together with a pipe ceremony. It
provided a broad base of wisdom from our Elders who started our day in prayer. It
was powerful and a time of relationship building; (Community members, Elders,
Staff and Board) focusing our collective efforts to prepare our hearts for the hard
work that we are all involved with to support the work of ANCR in the community.
Respectfully submitted
ANCR Board of Directors
