August 15, 2023 - www.PositivelyPositive.ca 20TH ANNIVERSARY- Creating HIV/AIDS Awareness 20 Years: “Bradford McIntyre Positively Positive Living with HIV/AIDS” website - Designed to create awareness around the many HIV and AIDS issues and promotes messages of positive living with HIV.
In 2003, nearly ten years after publicly announcing that he was living with HIV, Bradford McIntyre launched his website Bradford McIntyre Positively Positive Living with HIV/AIDS (www.PositivelyPositive.ca). Going on 4 decades after his diagnosis, Bradford continues to share his message of positive living with HIV, and is a dedicated advocate for enhancing awareness about HIV/AIDS. "On August 15, 2003, I launched my website: “Bradford McIntyre Positively Positive Living with HIV/AIDS” (www.positivelypositive.ca), designed to create awareness around the many HIV and AIDS issues and promotes messages of positive living with HIV/AIDS. Life affirming and supportive topics, my personal story, HIV/AIDS articles, news, videos, links and more." Website Design by Trevor Uksik. "My nephew, Trevor Uksik created the website for me after our conversation regarding my long involvement in HIV/AIDS Activism and through our discussion that I had a drawer full of pertinent materials: radio, newspaper, TV, magazine interviews and documentaries. Articles on HIV and AIDS that I wrote and articles that were written about me were published in newspapers, magazines and on websites around the world.
Since launching in 2003, the website has reached millions of people globally. It provides me with the opportunity to educate, inform and build community" Dedicated to: Jerry Fogg, Cecil Wallace, Barry Hohl, Neil Bolton, Michael Graham, and all those that we loved who died of AIDS.

AIDS Vancouver will recognize those who have shaped and built AIDS Vancouver, and made it possible for this organization to be here today. Interactive Tineline - Artist:Peggy Frank - Materials:Pen, watercolour pencils, and pastels on canvas. "The history of HIV and AIDS is filled with public events, discrimination, collaboration with allies, piercing calls for justice, and stigma, along with grand openings and horrific closings of hubs for people living positively. Creating this timeline has been an emotional journey. I am grateful to individuals and agencies who provided information. My interpretation is htat of a positive womaen with here heart in rural BC - a woman who devotes time and energy to human rights. I left gaps in the timeline and encourage you to write me - pegfrank@telus.net - with new details. Please include what to add or change and the year the event or decesion tool place." Peggy Frank Peggy's Bio - she and her pronouns.Since my infection in 1997, I have been blessed to call the Coast Salish territory my home. I acknowledge that the lands were stolen from First Nations and thank them for caretaking a beautiful part of the world. In HIV research circles, those who identify as women have not been heard enough. With other dedicated researchers, we hope our work changes that. As well as listening and speaking publicly, I use art and personal outreach to understand women's herstories. I do this in collaboration with my sisters and glow with pride as stories are shared. Much of my adult life has been forcused on communities affected by HIV and AIDS both here in Canada and in sub-Saharan Africa.
AIDS Vancouver provides direct support to people living with, and affected by HIV, throughout the Lower Mainland. AIDS Vancouver opened its doors in 1983 as one of the first AIDS service organization in Canada in response to the growing need for community health organizations to support individuals vulnerable to the epidemic.www.aidsvancouver.org Vancouver, BC, Canada

Zee Strong, created 7 digital HIV Portrait Frames with profile photographs of HIV/AIDS Advocate and Founder of PositivelyPositive.ca Bradford McIntyre, living with HIV/AIDS, since 1984. "I had lost a dear friend in the early eighties following her AIDS diagnosis. Shame led her to take her own life. After my diagnosis, I promised myself that I would never feel that same shame. I set out on a journey to change the way the world views HIV/AIDS. I decided to make it bright, bold, and beautiful! I'd make it colorful. Next, simple framed graphics designed to empower others to reveal their HIV status publicly. The journey led me to create The AIDS HIV Survivor Living Memorial on Facebook as Public Group. Better known as The Digital Living Quilt, it now has worldwide participation and it is slowly changing the face of HIV/AIDS."Zee Strong Reflections from an HIV Advocate's Journey: Michael Zee Zalnasky This Man Made Over 10,000 HIV Portraits [SLIDESHOW] Broward County, Florida, U.S.A.

-2019-September 4, 2019- Guest - forefront Lecture - My Continued Activism Toward an HIV Cure - Speaker: Timothy Brown "The Berlin patient", First Person Cured Of HIV, with Introduction by Dr. Zabrina Brumme, Director, Laboratory Program, BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS, and Associate Professor, Health Sciences Simon Fraser University. "International researchers recognized Timothy as the first and only documented case of a person who has been cured of HIV so far until March 4, 2019, when the media announced that a second patient had gone 18 months without his HIV medication after a similar treatment. Timothy is extremely elated to possibly have a new member in his very miniscule family of people formerly living with HIV. Now, 23 years after he was diagnosed with HIV, the 53-year-old now lives in Palm Springs, California USA. He has chosen to out himself as the man who had until then been known only as "The Berlin Patient."
"Timothy's most important goal now is to help make his cure create an impetus leading to universally curing HIV; this should be available to everyone regardless of economic means or background. He donates his time, blood and occasionally bodily tissues to help science advance toward realizing this goal."BC Centre For Excellence in HIV/AIDS

-2016-November 24- Research Study Participant - Interview (2 Hours) - The BC People Living with HIV Stigma Index Project - The BC HIV Stigma Index is a research and community-building tool that was developed and tested beginning in 2005 by a team of people in four countries, and has since been used in more than 50 countries worldwide to better understand the stigma faced by people living with HIV. This is the first time the HIV Stigma Index is being conducted in Canada. Wherever it is done, the HIV Stigma Index is carried out by people living with HIV, with people living with HIV. In this way, it is considered to be a peer-driven project, meant to create connections between HIV-positive people, empower them to speak the truth about their experiences of stigma, and in doing so, to create meaningful change in Communities.
Because the HIV Stigma Index has never been done in Canada, the BC phase of the Index will fill a gap in understanding the experience of stigma and discrimination in this region. Three are a number of organizations working against stigma and discrimination and fighting for the human rights of people livign with HIV. We hope that this project will provide information that will help these efforts. The BC People Living with HIV Stigma Index Project:

"STRUT is a one-mile walk-a-thon in heels for LGBT+ refugees, asylum seekers, and newcomers to Canada. "A mile in heels is easier than a lifetime in the closet." The whole concept behind STRUT centers around what a privilege it is to freely express one's gender identity in Canada, without fear of government or societal persecution. It is hard to imagine having to wait in fear over a lifetime, then manage to escape and get off a plane not knowing where to go with barely enough money to eat, find housing, or gain access to basic healthcare. This would be a challenge for any newcomer seeking asylum, but less so than also having to navigate a system that has little understanding of LGBT+ issues." Foundation of Hope

-2014-August 21- Study Participant (5 Years) - The Canadian HIV and Aging Cohort - Determinants of Increased risk of Cardio-Vascular Diseases in HIV-Infected Individuals : Rationale and Study Protocol. Short Title: Canadian HIV and Aging Cohort.
With advances in HIV treatments, people with HIV are living longer. It appears that diseases related to aging in the general population: metabolic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease), neurocognitive disorders (memory loss, difficulty concentrating, etc.), bone density loss and fragile bones, occur earlier in persons infected with HIV.
The objectives of this study are to improve our understanding of the pathophysiological (modification of normal body function) process involved in premature aging associated with HIV infection and to identify the predictive markers that could be used to prevent or treat the disease associated with this process. The study is funded from Canadian Institutes of Health Research CIHR.

-2013-August 4- Face of HIV Bradford McIntyre, Positively Positive - 2013 Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic HSCI 431- "Face of HIV: POSI+IVE ART", visual arts presentation - Simon Fraser University (SFU).
Simon Fraser University student members of Group 19 inspired by Bradford McIntyre, focused on Bradford and his website Positively Positive Living with HIV/AIDS (www.PositivelyPositive.ca), and created a portrait for their "Face of HIV: POSI+IVE ART" visual arts presentation and presented their "Face of HIV" project Face of HIV Bradford McIntyre, Positively Positive on August 4, 2013. The project has been presented to mimic being on an iPhone platform as the data & images they used are encapsulated in a border, which looks like such a device. (HSCI 431) "Face of HIV: POSI+IVE ART" is a 4th year undergraduate course assignment on the Global HIV/AIDS epidemic at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby campus. In groups of 5-7, students have chosen a “Face of HIV" person/organization/community/issue of interest and created a POSI+IVE ART presentation that describes the importance of this person, organization, community, and/or issue in the context of HIV and course material. Part of the assignment involves the students describing their art via a short oral presentation, delivered to a distinguished panel of local and global stakeholderrs. Through this assignment, students examine the connections between HIV/AIDS science, advocacy, and policy.
Bradford McIntyre was not aware of the Simon Fraser University (SFU)"Face of HIV: POSI+IVE ART" visual art presentations or that a group of SFU students had chosen Bradford for thier "Face of HIV" project. Bradford first learned of the SFU students project: Face of HIV Bradford McIntyre, Positively Positive when presented with the project Portrait by Group 19 member Sarrah Vinluan, the day after the Group 19 "Face of HIV: POSI+IVE ART" presentation had taken place. Instructor: Dr. Angela Kaida, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, SFU SFU students of Group 19: Carmen Leung, Keith Tse, Ka-Wing Ng, Joshua Loo, Roy Ortega. Leandro Dela Cruz, and Sarrah Vinluan. "Dear Bradford, My students were so inspired by you, your work, and your website that they created a portrait of you!" Dr. Angela Kaida, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, SFU. "Dear Bradford, The project was called "Face of HIV: POSI+IVE ART." Dr. Kaida wanted us to choose a person or an organization who we thought exemplified HIV/AIDS advocacy. We used the idea of the app to organize our presentation of your website and the messages you shared through your website. Your work, especially your positive message was a great inspiration to us. I'm glad that you liked the portrait and personally, I was touched to hear that you framed it and even hung it! Thank you!" Group 19 member: Sarrahn. Vinlua "Bradford McIntyre, making you the topic of our Positively Positive project was a no-brainer, your story is truly inspiring and your work is a model for us students to follow. The app concept came from looking at all the HIV related apps, and seeing how all of them centered on treatment. None of them really addressed the social issues surrounding HIV and how to go about helping the user of the app deal with the non-medical aspects of HIV. The app was just an extension of what your website accomplished."Group 19 member: Leandro Dela Cruz. Simon Fraser University (SFU) Vancouver, Canada

"Last night, AIDS Vancouver celebrated its 30th anniversary and on hand to celebrate the occasion was Bradford McIntyre. Bradford was diagnosed with HIV in 1984, but due to the stigma associated with HIV at the time, he did not come out. It took Bradford ten years to come out, which he did on national TV on Worlds Aids Day in 1994. How has the stigma around HIV and AIDS changed since he was first diagnosed? How has the HIV/AIDS treatment available in British Columbia changed?" Jill Krop, Guest Host, The Simi Sara Show.

-2013-July 31- Interview - Georgia Straight - BRADFORD MCINTYRE STIRRING STORY OF SURVIVAL! - HIV survivor Bradford McIntyre keeps up fight - Georgia Straight reporter Gail Johnson, talks with Bradford McIntyre about his having lived infected with HIV since 1984, the work he does creating HIV and AIDS awareness and the Vancouver Pride Celebrations. "Creating HIV awareness has become my life's work," McIntyre says in a phone interview. "I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through. After I was diagnosed, I lived a life of fear-fear of death."
"The thing people hear is that HIV is a problem among high-risk groups," says McIntyre, 61. "But HIV doesn't discriminate. HIV can infect anyone. Here in Canada, our youth are infected. Women are infected. Aboriginal communities are infected. Members of the LGBT [community] are infected. Seniors are being infected-maybe they're newly single, recently separated, or they've lost their spouse and they've never had to have a conversation around safe sex and using a condom. They don't think there's any risk.
High risk is unprotected sex, that's what high risk is."
"Pride represents how far we've come," he adds. "Our community was devastated by HIV, but we can be proud that we cared for those who were sick and fought to get treatment. Now people who are HIV-positive can live long and healthy lives, and we can be proud of that, too.
We've come a long way, but we still have so far to go."Bradford McIntyre. Vanoouver, Canada

-2013-February 1- Photograph | Participant in the RISE UP TO HIV: NO SHAME ABOUT BEING HIV POSITIVE CAMPAIGN - Bradford McIntyre has No Shame About Being HIV Positive! "A long time survivor living with HIV since 1984, I announced publicly on national TV (Canada), on World AIDS Day, December 1, 1994, that I was living with HIV. For me, there is more power in people knowing the truth than there ever was in the fear and hiding. I did not experience any negative repercussions following my coming out publicly about being infected with HIV. This freed me from the burden of hiding that I'm HIV positive, giving me the freedom to truly be myself. My coming out publicly evolved and grew, which has been an extremely rewarding and liberating experience". Bradford McIntyre. "Thank you so much for sharing this truly inspirational story that others will be inspired by!" Kevin Maloney. "The "Rise Up to HIV" campaign was inspired by an image of Chelsea Clinton holding a sign for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. My vision for this campaign is to mobilize people across the United States and the world who are willing to stand up in an effort to reduce HIV stigma. Participants are empowered by the act of pairing a simple statement with their personal story and photo. In turn, these stories inspire hope and empower others to fight stigma. This campaign identifies and mobilizes individuals who are making a difference in their communities. When you are engaged in your own care, you'll engage others, which will in turn create healthier communities."Kevin Maloney.

After the screening, Bradford moderated a 20 min Q & A session with director David Weissman, via Skype. "In We Were Here, director David Weissman vividly captures the reality many of us faced in the early years of the HIV epidemic. Back then there was no support out there for people living with HIV and stigma was so vehement. People living with HIV/AIDS had to create grassroots networks to take care of one another; fight for treatments and human rights and educate the public to break down the barriers of stigma. Thirty years on we have come a long way in addressing these issues those generations before fought for. However, with over 33 million HIV infections worldwide, we must continue to act and support people living with HIV, by never faltering to advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness." reflected Bradford McIntyre, living with HIV, and AIDS Vancouver Society Board Vice-Chair. Thanks Bradford. I really enjoyed doing it, and appreciated your participation in the event." David Weissman, Director, We Were Here (film).

Pur Medical Corporation is the Canadian distributor of Bio-Alcamid. Bio-Alcamid is exceptional news to men and women suffering from Lipoatrophy, the disfiguring condition that is often a result of the antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV infection and AIDS. "Many individuals living with HIV and AIDS have often overcome bouts of illness but the side effects of the medications have resulted in deep facial scars, which affect their self-image physically and mentally. This will contribute to their hardship and ill health! We need government to recognize the severity of the problem and treat Lipoatrophy like that of the restoration treatments patients with cancer receive. Lipoatrophy is a direct result of the medications to treat HIV infection. To remedy the problem, the procedure needs to be covered under Health Care."Bradford McIntyre Vancouver,Canada

Face Forward provides resources and solutions in an effort to improve self-image and confidence. Our aim is a better quality of life. "While it can be a life threatening disease, today HIV and the onset of AIDS can be "managed." A powerful arsenal of antiretroviral drugs can hold the progression of the disease at bay, but they exact a toll, with debilitating side effects that include anemia, extreme fatigue and severe gastrointestinal problems plaguing daily life. Equally devastating is Lipoatrophy, the facial wasting that has become the scarlet letter of people living with HIV. Too often, self-esteem plummets and the belief that it is possible to live normally diminishes. Daily life is often born rather than fully lived and depression becomes a way of life."

-2004-November 27- Volunteer/Patient - Bradford McIntyre received Bio-Alcamid treatment – volunteer patient for physician training session using Bio-Alcamid for (facial wasting) lipoatrophy, a side effect of both HIV and the antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV and AIDS. HIV/AIDS Lipoatrophy - Before & After by Bradford McIntyre. "As an individual living with HIV for 20 years and the founder and operator of www.positivelypositive.ca, I am immensely aware of the issues that face people living with HIV and AIDS. Although appearance is not the primary concern, the side effect of lipoatrophy (facial and body fat wasting) causes great distress to many. I have had the opportunity to receive Bio-Alcamid for my facial lipoatrophy - it appears natural and feels soft under the skin. I would recommend this product and procedure to people with lipoatrophy concerns; Bio-Alcamid has rejuvenated my face and having the treatment increased my self esteem!" Patient: Bradford McIntyre, Vancouver, Canada.
Bio-Alcamid training provided by Pur Medical Corporation. Pur Medical Corporation distributors of Bio-Alcamid Soft Tissue Endoprosthesis, organized a training session for some of Western Canada's top cosmetic practitioners and 4 patients. This included Vancouver Drs. Alastair and Jean Carruthers, Robert Thompson and Calgary's Wayne Perron.
This followed a day in Toronto where Drs. F. Beninger, Kasrai, Weiglein and Rice treated 8 patients. These patients were the Canadian debuts of a product that has been used in Europe and other countries for 5 years. Bio-Alcamid is a synthetic gel that is injected below the skin to restore volume and the natural contours of the face. Bio-Alcamid is one of the only products that can be used in the large volumes necessary to correct this problem.

Now, we can eliminate the fear and promote a new awareness, relying on education and a wide variety of treatment options. With choice there is hope!
I am not alone in realizing the importance in helping and educating others so we can create a shift in perception. There is more POWER in people knowing the TRUTH, than there is in hiding. My life has been so changed, going from fear; to removing the blocks that kept me from being my true self and living a full and healthy LIFE."

"Bradford McIntyre is a frequent contributor to our weekly News Magazine Enkidu, based in Mexico City, and read by an international audience throughout the Spanish speaking world and beyond. He has stimulated engaging debates and discussions among our readers and at our outreach activities. His articles always generate encouraging feedback and our readers nominated him to our "Most Eye Opening Contributor 2003" in our annual reader survery. His contributions, which Enkidu publishes in Spanish and English, have had a considerable impact on our readers' awareness and perception of what it means to live with HIV-Virus.
Mr. McIntyre has introduced the Spanish speaking audience to new approaches and attitudes to treatment and mainstream medical responses to the AIDS-challenge. Most importantly, however, he has given hope, inspiration and a perspective to thousands of individuals living with HIV and AIDS throughout Latin America, in countries where medical services are less developed than in the Northern Hemisphere. Objective information is lacking or inaccessible to most people and far too many individuals have been left alone in darkness, fear and insecurity with their condition. Mr. McIntyre has given us the possibility to access a vision of a better future and encouraged many people to go on, by serving as an excellent example. He has demonstated how individuals can take responsibility for their own health and their own future regardless of HIV-status."

-2004-April 27- Request for permission to quote: Theodore de Bruyn, Senior Policy Analyst for Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network working on A PLAN OF ACTION for Canada to reduce HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. contacted Bradford McIntyre requesting permission to quote comments Bradford made on the draft PLAN OF ACTION in December 2003. Quotes by Bradford McIntyre included in:
A PLAN OF ACTION for Canada to reduce HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination by Theodore de Bruy for The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network "There ARE individuals who are OUT about their HIV status who are NOT afraid to speak up. What is necessary is media coverage not of new medications and side effects, or individuals sick and dying, but interviews with HIV+ individuals who are living!" "Who better to reach people than those who are living with HIV who are not afraid to talk about the fact that they are living with HIV. People need to see others living with HIV who are out about their status, in order to move away from the fear."
"Many people world wide are out about their HIV status and many many more are voicing they would also like to be able to live without fear and let others know they are living with HIV. Unfortunately, the fear of discrimination still exists today, and this prevents many from feeling safe about revealing their status." Bradford McIntyre. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network is a partner organisation of the AIDS Law Project of South Africa, and a non-governmental organization in Special Consultative Status with the Ecomomic and Social Council of the United Nations. //Le Réseau juridique canadien VIH/sida est un organisme partenaire du AIDS Law Project de l'Afrique du Sud et ONG doté de statut consultatif spécial auprès du Conseil économique et social des Nations Unies.

-2004-February 17- Article: Article written and published in: PAMBAZUKA NEWS (AFRICA/GlOBAL) - An Information Service for Social Justice in Africa -
"Aids is a war against humanity" by Bradford McIntyre. Excerpt:"Individuals should not have to suffer all losses due to illness! Men, women and children are suffering with HIV/AIDS. We need to assure that these people are cared for, not discriminated against! We must provide funds for proper nutrition, housing and health care for these individuals to aid and contribute to their well-being. We need to get rid of the false perceptions and judgments. Like Doreen Millman said in Vancouver at the 1996 AIDS Conference in reference to how a 63 year old grandmother got AIDS. She said, "It just doesn’t matter!" Neither does an individual's race, religion or sexual orientation matter! Don’t look for differences; look at how we can help one another." Bradford McIntyre, living with HIV/AIDS.

"Keynote Speaker: Bradford McIntyre coming to us from Vancouver. Bradford will be here to share his outlook on how to "Live today as healthy and as fully as you can." Shawn Andress, ACCESS AIDS Network. "I would like to spend this time and take you on a journey. A journey covering the many years since the emergence of HIV. A journey of some of the intimate details of my expereince. As well as, the expereince millions of people who have been affected by HIV and AIDS have had to face. I understand you have lots of fears, but there are fears you can let go of! In our time together it is my intent to journey, opening doors for letting go of fear!
It may appear that the Stigma attached to HIV and AIDS is a force to recond with. However this stigma was created out of fear at a time when there was confusion as to what this desease was that was killing people. And no understanding of how people were infected.
Many people infected have worked to understand HIV, the immune system and how to stay health, with great success. Those people who are no longer with us, many of them were the very people responsible for community action in the fight against HIV. They raised money for those who were sick. They raised the funds that built the organizations and set new standards for fund raising. They broke down the barriers of fear and discrimnination in their own lives as well as for the sake of others. Those people who are no longer with us, taught us, and it is because of them that I am here today." Bradford McIntyre, Keynote Speaker: Opening Doors HIV/AIDS Conference 2003.

No one should be told he or she has six months to live! We need to find better ways for providing care and improving the quality of life for people living with serious disease.

"For Bradford McIntyre, the guest speaker at the opening reception of this exhibition, the HIV virus is not a death sentence."
This exhibition is the follow-up of five previous annual art shows organized by Julie Malher, president of the Djaef Malher AIDS Benefit Society, after seeing many of her son's friends die of AIDS. This time, however, the exhibition has the sole purpose of raising awareness to the HIV/AIDS issue. For this reason artists were invited to create an artwork on the theme itself. They have had to read, research and study the theme before even attemptiing to conceptualize the work. "For Bradford McIntyre, the guest speaker at the opening reception of this exhibition, the HIV virus is not a death sentence. Brad, 42. has lived with HIV for over a decade. The first four years were a living hell. But then, he chose to get on with his life. Facing a life threatening illness makes you appreciate life, he says. McIntyre was diagnosed with the virus linked to AIDS in 1984. On November 28th 1985, he was given six months to live. On the anniversary, every year, he now organizes a party, A Celebration Of Life" wrote Julie Malher in the Djaef Malher AIDS Benefit Society's Newsletter, July 1995. McIntyre has incorporated into his life many positive approaches and techniques to healing such as a healthy diet, medication, body rebalancing, working with light and many others." Hélène Lanois, Exhibition coordinator. "Dear Bradford, many of the gala guests and especially my family were so touched by your courage to talk about the ordeal you went through then and the courage to go on and live life to the fullest. And you know, Bradford, you also give me the strength to go on with the FLAME OF HOPE." ~ Julie Mahler, Flame of Hope :: Djaef Mahler AIDS Benefit Society.
In 1989, Julie Mahler, who was deeply affected by the impact HIV and AIDS had on the lives of her son Djaef and friends, Julie felt she had to do something to help. A benefit for HIV/AIDS charities was held in Surrey, BC, Canada, the first show called "Flame of Hope" was held in the fall of 1989. The proceeds went to AIDS Vancouver. In memory of her son, Djaef Mahler, a young visual artist, who passed away from AIDS in 1990, Julie Mahler formed the Flame of Hope :: Djaef Mahler AIDS Benefit Society, a registered non-profit organization. "Art is the medium through which one’s feelings can be expressed. But in this case, I feel it is also the key to unlocking and understanding some of the complexities of this disease. The goals of THE FLAME OF HOPE are to contribute to organizations and support groups concerned with HIV/AIDS, and to reach out into the communities. Over the past thirteen years AIDS related charities benefiting from our Art Sales and Fundraisers were: AIDS Vancouver, BCPWA, LOVING SPOONFUL, Surrey HIV/AIDS Support Network, Peace Arch Community Services, HIV/AIDS Support Network, St. Paul's Hospital's HIV UNIT 10 C." ~ Julie Mahler ~ Surrey/North Delta, B.C.Canada
