Proclamation for World AIDS Day, December 1, 2003

In January 1982, the first Ontarian and Canadian were confirmed to have HIV/AIDS. The response from the community was immediate; AIDS Service Organizations formed both formally and as groups of concerned citizens, joining together to fight this new, unknown and deadly disease. To learn more about the history of the movement, click here.

In 1993, the Ontario AIDS Network was created as a province-wide coalition of diverse community-based organizations working together to establish a just and effective response to AIDS. To view a list of our member agencies here.

On December 1, 2003 the Ontario AIDS Network and its partner agencies in your community will be observing World AIDS Day. We invite you to join together with us to proclaim World AIDS Day in your community.

If you would like to join by proclaiming Canadian HIV/AIDS Awareness Week and World AIDS Day in your community, please see the sample Proclamation courtesy of the Canadian HIV/AIDS Information Centre.
