OUR SUPPORTERS

Our successes are due in large part to our esteemed partners, sponsors and community contributors!

On April 3, 2005, Minister of Community, Aboriginal and Women’s Services Murray Coell announced a provincial government contribution of $250,000 from the 2004-2005 budget to support the work of First Peoples Cultural Foundation in the delivery of language archiving services at FirstVoices.com. The new funding will enable FPCF to provide ongoing services to the existing language groups using FirstVoices.com, and in addition will provide for training, access and support for new language groups wishing to use the state-of-the-art FirstVoices language resources.
