Many Organizations, One Shared Purpose

North Bridge Civic Federation (NCF) is a federally incorporated not for profit organization. It serves as an umbrella for community, educational, intercultural, interfaith, humanitarian and youth organizations across Canada.

Our members do the work on the ground in their own cities. NCF connects them, helps them learn from one another and makes their combined contribution to Canadian society more visible.

Our Mission

To strengthen our member organizations and the communities they serve by promoting human rights, equal opportunity, nonviolence and respect for cultural and religious diversity.

Our Vision

A Canada where people of every culture and faith know one another, trust one another and work together for the common good.   

What Guides Us

Human Dignity

Every person deserves respect, fairness and equal opportunity.

Nonviolence

Differences are resolved through dialogue, never through hostility or force.

Diversity

Cultural and religious diversity is a source of strength for Canada.

Education

Learning and mentorship open doors for individuals and whole communities.

Service

We measure our success by the good we do for others.

Accountability

We govern ourselves openly and use every resource responsibly.

How We Work

By grounding our efforts in community needs and bringing people together, we equip our members to thrive and ensure their vital work inspires others.

We start from the needs our members and their communities identify.

We bring together organizations, volunteers, professionals and partners.

We share knowledge, tools and communications capacity.

We tell the stories of our members’ work so good ideas travel further.

Our Story

NCF was established in 2024 by intercultural and community organizations to promote human rights, interfaith dialogue, and equal opportunity across Canada. Since then, it has grown into a network of 12 organizations serving communities from British Columbia to Quebec.

Governance

NCF is incorporated under the Canada Not for profit Corporations Act and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors responsible for its strategic direction, oversight and accountability. NCF is not a registered charity.
