Vancouver International Candlelight AIDS Memorial

The International AIDS Candlelight Memorial is one of the longest-running HIV awareness events in the world. It recognizes the people who have died, but also the people who have lived proudly to confront stigma and advocate for all people living with HIV.

In The AIDS Candlelight Memorial Still Matters – Here’s Why, Robin Irwin writes about decreased funding to HIV services in contrast to the ongoing political, structural, social and legal barriers many with HIV face.

AIDS Vancouver, McLaren Housing Society, Canadian AIDS Network, Downtown Eastside Consumers Board, and YouthCO invite all in the Vancouver area to attend the Vancouver International AIDS Candlelight Memorial on Sunday May 21st in Alexandra Park in Vancouver’s West End: 1755 Beach Avenue, 8PM- 9PM.
