Tara Nargang – Provincial Director 

Tara’s 35 years of community work has taken her throughout traditional and ancestral territories in BC, such as Secwepemc, Syilx, Squamish, Musqueam and Tsleil Wautauth and across the water in the Philippines, Hungary, and Guyana. These rich community experiences have led Tara back to Victoria, the unceded territory of the Lekwungen People where she has settled for the past 23 years. As the Provincial Director of FRP-BC, she brings FRP front-line experience working in programs such as pre/post-natal, New Canadian programming, pilot projects for youth and mental health, and family outreach, to name a few. She is inspired by the concrete results that happen in collaborative work and is thrilled to be a part of the bigger picture lens: supporting FRPs through capacity building and working with partners to strengthen the important work our sector does within communities.
