AIDS Vancouver
Community Celebration
Celebrate 40+ years of community and our new name, purpose, and values

March 26 2024
5pm - 8:00pm
VIFF Centre

In February 2023, AIDS Vancouver started a community consultation process, called Vision Our Future, to revise our mission, vision, and name. Now, we are getting ready to share our new purpose, values, name and look, and celebrate the past and present people and communities who have made this possible.

We will celebrate the people who were there at the beginning of AIDS Vancouver and many other organizations, the work that happened outside of these formal organizations, and the contributions of people and organizations who are no longer here.

Ultimately, our new purpose, values, name and look are a celebration of our communities: what we have built together over four decades and counting, how we have taken care of each other, and what we have learned along the way. We are also celebrating the parts of AIDS Vancouver that will stay the same, the parts we heard it is time to change, and most importantly, the ways we will continue to show up for people living with HIV – and our broader communities – for years to come.

Please join our Community Celebration on March 26, at the Vancouver International Film Festival starting at 5pm. All are welcome to celebrate with us.

At 5:30pm, Syexwaliya, Squamish Nation Elder, will open our event. Following that, we will share our new name, drag, food and community.

We look forward to celebrating with you.
