The North Thompson Aboriginal Cultural Centre is the only off reserve Centre for Aboriginal peoples in the North Thompson Valley and has been serving the community since 2009, becoming a registered nonprofit society in March of 2013. The Centre receives no core funding and is run entirely by donations and volunteer staff five days a week. Our Centre provides:
• Serves as a drop-in center for local community members and visitors.
• Hosts an area for a museum with the history of Aboriginal and Metis people.
• Provides a gift shop featuring many local artists.
• Teaches Aboriginal culture to all ages through storytelling and making traditional crafts.
• Volunteers at other community events from Barriere to Blue River.
• Works closely with Aboriginal Engagement Success By 6.
