World AIDS Day Vigil

December 1, 2024, 4:00pm-7:00pm
252 James St N, Hamilton, ON

December 1st is World AIDS Day, and the Positive Health Network is proud to continue our annual tradition of holding a vigil service in collaboration with Christ’s Church Cathedral to honour the people in our communities living with HIV/AIDS and to memorialize those we have lost.

This annual event serves as an important reminder that we must remain steadfast in our commitment to prevent new HIV infections and provide essential services to all people living with HIV globally. In 2024, we will commemorate the 36th World AIDS Day with the theme, “Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress.”


Last years service was held on Friday, December 1, 2023 with an excellent turnout.

We thank Christ’s Church Cathedral and their choir, all the staff/volunteers who helped make this event a success, and all those who knitted/provided red scarves for World AIDS Day.

The Positive Health Network would like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals and groups for their hard work knitting and/or providing red scarves for this year’s Red Scarf Campaign. Job well done!
