There were lots of laughs, games and fun taking place on LGBTQ+ night, one of the many programs the North Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre offers to help youth make friends and give them a sense of belonging.
The team provides crucial help for Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth struggling with their well-being. The friendship centre offers day, night and weekend events and programs.
“A lot of youth just need a place to call home right now and so we have that space available here all the time for them,” said Melissa Minor, a mental health and addiction worker at the centre.
