Regional HIV/AIDS Connection was excited to learn that the federal government has removed a barrier in the application process for Safe Consumption Sites (SCS) across Canada. In Ontario, this means that regions in urgent need of support will be able to work directly with Federal representatives to receive exemptions for new sites with the goal of reducing overdoses, linking people who use drugs to care and dramatically reducing the potential for new HIV acquisitions by providing clean equipment and accurate, up-to-date information to people accessing these services.
Join us in your area to remember those we have lost from HIV/AIDS, celebrate and honour their lives, and hope for a cure in the future. For World AIDS Day, we are hosting two World AIDS Day vigils in Stratford and London:
