If you have not heard already, the funding for the Native Friendship Centre of Montreal (NFCM)<\/a> and the Inter-tribal Youth Centre (ITYC)<\/a> have been revoked. KANATA members have discovered that the ITYC is effectively shut down due to lack of funds. We are very concerned for the future of these two organizations that do such wonderful work.<\/p>\n
