The Pas Friendship Centre (TPFC) has a new leader at the helm of its organization. Rhoda Beardy has accepted the role of executive director for TPFC after being with the organization for quite some time.
“My first involvement with the Friendship Centre Movement was back in 1999, when I worked as a Cultural Program Assistant,” said Beardy. “That summer, we organized a Teepee Village in Devon Park, which was a truly unforgettable experience. The community came together to camp, share meals, and tell stories around the fire.
“It was more than just a program; it was a celebration of culture, connection, and tradition. Seeing families gather, elders share wisdom, and youth engage with their heritage made it an awesome event that still holds a special place in my heart.”
