20th Anniversary Gala Celebration |
|
We would like to thank all those who joined Black CAP for our 20th Anniversary Celebration on November 26th. This event was the culmination of 20 years of working to care for and support Toronto's Black, African and Caribbean communities. The event was a great success and we were joined by 175 friends and family of the organization. We would like to offer our special thanks to the Ontario Minister of Health Promotion Margarett Best, the Honourable George Smitherman, Camille Orridge and other special guests who spoke about the importance of Black CAP over the last 20 years. We would also like to thank the generous sponsors of this event: TD Bank Financial Group, ViiV Healthcare in partnership with Shire, AMOI Magazine (www.amoimag.com), Mpenzi: Black Women's International Film and Video Festival (www.mpenzi.ca) and the artists who donated items for our silent auction. The event was both a celebration and a fundraiser and we are very happy to announce that we met our goal of $20,000 for our emergency financial assistance program which supports our clients who are facing economic hardship.Thanks to all those who gave and we look forward to working with you in the future. |

Community Forum - HIV/AIDS and Criminalization in Toronto’s Black Communities |
Black, African, and Caribbean people living with HIV or AIDS are increasingly charged for not informing their partners of their HIV status before sex. In fact, a large number of those charged are from our community and we are unsure why. Please join us for a community discussion where we will review a number of important questions, including: - What do Black people living with HIV or AIDS need to know about the law and HIV non-disclosure and transmission?
- Why are members of the Black community more likely to be charged and why is this issue becoming a racialized one?
- What are the legal obligations for people living with HIV or AIDS and when should they disclose their HIV status?
- How can organizations like Black CAP help clients living with HIV or AIDS avoid criminal charges?
We will be joined by a number of prominent speakers, including Richard Elliot, Executive Director of the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, Charmaine Williams, Vice-Dean of the University of Toronto School of Social Work, Maureen Owino, Program Coordinator of the Committee for Accessible AIDS Treatment (CAAT), and others. Thursday, November 19th, 20097:00 – 9:00 p.m.155 College St – University of Toronto Health Sciences BuildingRoom # 610 The Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention would like to thank the co-sponsors of this event: the African Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario (ACCHO), the Rainbow Health Network, and the Ontario Working Group on Criminal Law & HIV Exposure.
