The Dryden Native Friendship Centre is set to continue a yuletide tradition.

The Centre is launching its annual Christmas Feast this week but this years event will be COVID-19 safe.

Staff will be making deliveries and letting participants pick up their meals Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:00am until noon and 1:00pm until 3:00pm each day.

Sign-up for meals has already concluded and volunteers are in place.

Pick-up for meals will be taking place at the front entrance of the building as well as the pick-up window by the back door.

Officials are thanking all area businesses, community members and organizations that helped put this years event together and for working with the Friendship Centre throughout the year.

Dryden Native Friendship Centre- Media Release

Dryden Native Friendship Centre would like to acknowledge all our volunteers who have assisted with so many events at DNFC over the past year. In the month of May, DNFC has always held a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner to acknowledge our volunteers and their generous spirit of helping community. This year due to pandemic, we at DNFC will be postponing this Appreciation Dinner until September 2020.

One of DNFC’s largest gatherings is our annual powwow, which is usually held on Indigenous Peoples day on June 21st. Due to pandemic this year, we at DNFC have made the decision not to hold this event. We do apologize as this is a wonderful cultural gathering that brings together community members, families, and service providers to showcase the incredible programs and services that Dryden has to offer. Instead, we will be posting an acknowledgement of this day on our website dnfconline.org.

Please contact the Dryden Native Friendship Centre for further details.
