Sure. Absolutely.
We know that children's health isn't based just on the medical system. I'm sitting here with a group of medical professionals, which is amazing. What we also try to do as a friendship centre is to come in upstream so that we're providing programs and services before these children end up unwell. That means supporting families with some of the programs that we're offering, including food security. I know that many of the friendship centres across the country during COVID offered immunization clinics around all of that.
We're better prepared than most mainstream institutions to do this because we understand our community. We understand the people we're serving. The reality for most friendship centres is that they are struggling to be able to do this with a growing population. Just here in Fredericton, I think the indigenous population off reserve has quadrupled.
