This year, RHAC's Annual General Report (AGR) takes a look back at our 2024-25 Fiscal Year, celebrating the theme of “Safer Together Since 1985."
For this year’s AGR, the safety pin made perfect sense as a symbol of how coming together can keep us safer. Since 1991, safety pins have been used to put countless ribbons together for AIDS awareness. Every World AIDS Day, a safety pin secures those ribbons over the hearts of individuals showing their support for people living with HIV/AIDS. Today, safety pins are still keeping things together. A lot has changed over the years, but it turns out that safety never goes out of style. Since 1985, Regional HIV/AIDS Connection (RHAC) has been providing safer spaces and supportive programs to people affected by HIV/AIDS. Our lasting legacy as an organization is owed to the community members who have equally supported us. Communities continue to count on RHAC, because their longstanding trust and support make it possible.
At our Annual Meeting, physical copies were safety-pinned with red ribbons that attendees could wear to honour people living with HIV.
