Boozhoo! Shé:kon! Welcome!
The Can-Am Indian Friendship Centre of Windsor is a community driven organization intended to serve the urban Indigenous population within the areas of Windsor and Essex County.
Historically, the Friendship Centre has been the focal point for Indigenous peoples within the urban environment.
The Centre was incorporated in 1982 to facilitate the acquisition of key administrative funding. The Centre itself retains the grassroots support and direction that was evident in the founding members. The Centre and the Indigenous community are inter-linked, seemingly a single entity.

Re: Updates to the Canada Learning Bond Initiative ![]()
![]()
We wanted to bring to your attention an important opportunity called the Canada Learning Bond (CLB), a federal initiative designed to support low-income families in saving for their children's postsecondary education. Families with a household income below $55,876 are eligible to apply to the CLB, which provides up to $2000 towards a child’s Registered Education Savings Plan. For students whose families did not apply for the CLB when they were younger, there is still an opportunity to claim the bond retroactively once they turn 18, up until the age of 20. This is a key update to the program and, in the future, this eligibility window will extend to age 30 due to legislative amendments that are set to take effect in April 2028. The CLB is part of the federal government’s ongoing efforts to help reduce financial barriers to education. We encourage you to raise awareness of this program and, where feasible, support eligible students and families in your community to apply to the CLB. For more details and promotional materials for the CLB and how students can apply, please refer to www.canada.ca/en/services/education.html or contact your local Service Canada office.
