Victoria Native Friendship Centre staff worry they’ll have to scale back a program that teaches hundreds of people Indigenous languages.
A previous two-year agreement with the federal Department of Canadian Heritage provided $516,600 to the program. The department does not publicly discuss funding requests, a spokesperson said in an email to CTV News. “So to think that after three years or four years, you can take the funding and give it to somebody else, is only going to set them up for failure.”Moving forward, the plan is to use funds from the province and the National Association of Friendship Centres to offer a scaled-back version of the program, “including limiting or maybe having to cancel some classes,” Mercure said.
