Courage, Community & Connection: Reflecting on 30 Years of Toronto's AIDS Memorial
In honour of World AIDS Day, the Ontario HIV Treatment Network (OHTN) is taking a look back at the first thirty years of the Toronto AIDS Memorial.
Muluba Habanyama interviews three long-time community members to find out what the memorial means to them. A big thank you to Grace Chiutsi of ACT, Trevor Stratton of CAAN Communities, Alliances & Networks, and Rodney Kort of the OHTN for participating.
The AIDS Memorial was built in 1993 -- thirty years ago this year -- in Toronto's Barbara Hall Park, behind The 519 community centre. If you have a memory of the memorial you'd like to share, post it to your feed and tag us!

Fast Track City
Did you know that Toronto is becoming a Fast Track City?
Toronto will join a global network of cities committed to meeting the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets. This signals an exciting new era in our region’s response to HIV!
With World AIDS Day upon us, the OHTN looks forward to the road ahead. Together with our Toronto to Zero partners, we will make HIV a rare and manageable condition in Toronto by 2030.
Read the OHTN’s full statement on Toronto’s Fast Tract City commitment here: www.ohtn.on.ca/toronto-fast-track-city-commitment/

Amid a dual crisis, where almost 20% of new HIV cases are linked to injection drug use, and Canada struggles with a daily average of 20 drug-related deaths, harm reduction emerges as a compassionate lifeline. Shiny Mary Varghese of @aidsprogramssouthsask tells us why meeting people where they are is a pivotal strategy in curbing the transmission of STBBIs, such as HIV.
