No Funds Committed to Aboriginal Healing Foundation in Canada’s 2010 Federal Budget

March 05, 2010 (OTTAWA) – Today, the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (AHF) Board of Directors acknowledged Canada’s decision not to provide funds to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation in the 2010 Federal Budget.

This decision by the Federal Government means that a nation-wide network of one hundred and thirty-four community-based healing intitiatives will no longer have AHF support after March 31, 2010, when current funds run out.
