        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"9450167\" data-originallang=\"en\">It's so important. You mentioned Jordan River, and in that case, there was a jurisdictional dispute where the young person was not serviced because jurisdictions couldn't agree on who was to serve the individual. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9450168\" data-originallang=\"en\">Friendship centres are very much community-focused and human-focused in their service delivery, and oftentimes when individuals come into cities, friendship centres are their first point of contact. We offer a range of programs and services across mental health and addiction supports, housing and employment, and many others, for the vast majority of indigenous people who are living in cities and towns today. </p>",

Dans cette affaire, un conflit de comp\u00e9tence a emp\u00each\u00e9 ce jeune de recevoir les services dont il avait besoin, car les administrations concern\u00e9es ne parvenaient pas \u00e0 s'entendre sur celle qui devait lui fournir ces services. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9450168\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les centres d'amiti\u00e9 placent les communaut\u00e9s et les personnes au c\u0153ur de leur prestation de services. Souvent, lorsque les gens arrivent en ville, ils se tournent d'abord vers les centres d'amiti\u00e9. Nous offrons une gamme de programmes et de services, notamment en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 mentale, de lutte contre la toxicomanie, de logement et d'emploi, \u00e0 la grande majorit\u00e9 des Autochtones qui vivent aujourd'hui dans les villes, grandes et petites.</p>"
