OUR MISSION
Our Mission is to enrich the lives of Aboriginal people who come into our sphere of influence. This is accomplished through a variety of supportive programming for single people, families, children, elders, and youth.
WHO WE ARE
**Our name has changed!**
We are now called Kxeen Community Services Society.
This will not change our programming or services.
The Kxeen Community Services Society originated under the umbrella of the Tsimshian Tribal Council (TTC), where we began delivering justice initiatives to Aboriginal people in 1999. After the TTC’s closure, we continued our work and incorporated under the name ‘Aboriginal Justice Society.” Since then, we have expanded our services to include medical transportation, homelessness prevention, and other important community programming. To better reflect what we do, our organization was renamed in 2011 to the Prince Rupert Aboriginal Community Services Society.
In 2024, our organization’s name was changed to Kxeen Community Services Society. The change was made to acknowledge the traditional and unceded territory of the nine allied nations of the Ts’msyen people by using the traditional Smalgyax name for our community, Kxeen .
