The Government of Canada is providing $40,000 through the Aboriginal Women’s Program to support the Barrie Native Friendship Centre’s project “Mother, Daughter and Granddaughter: Reclaiming Indigenous Knowledge, Skills and Voices.” The project encourages and facilitates the sharing and transfer of traditional knowledge to younger Aboriginal women in urban and remote communities across Simcoe County.

Patrick Brown, Member of Parliament (Barrie), made the announcement today on behalf of the Honourable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.
