VAFCS originated in the late 50s because of the will and need of People's leaving Indian Residential Schools without any support or means to survive.

This Society incorporated on July 29th in 1963 as Vancouver Indian Centre Society later changing its name to Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society.

The Aboriginal community has witnessed and embraced over 60 years of culturally enhanced programs and services. As an Aboriginal charitable organization, the society emphasizes the philosophies and values of varied cultures and traditions.

"Jordan's Principle is a legal requirement resulting from the Orders of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal (CHRT) and is not a policy or program.

Jordan's Principle is a child-first principle that aims to eliminate service inequities and delays for First Nations children.

Jordan's Principle states that any public service ordinarily available to all other children must be made available to First Nations children without delay or denial.
