This weekend was a powerful reminder of the strength that exists within our community.

On Saturday, I had the privilege of attending the Positive Light Gala — an evening that honoured advocacy, care, and the ongoing work to support people living with HIV and to reduce stigma through education and community action.

Today, I joined a thoughtful International Women’s Day Dinner and Discussion hosted by the . The conversation centred on workers rights, humanitarian crisis, and collective power of women working to advance equity and opportunity in our communities.

One especially meaningful moment was receiving a small package of locally harvested seeds from a community gardener who was also attending the event. It felt like a beautiful symbol of the day — planting seeds for the future, nurturing growth, and investing in the well-being of the next generation.

Being present at community events like these matters deeply to me. It is part of my commitment to listening, learning, and showing up for the people and organizations who strengthen the social fabric of our communities.

Public education sits at the heart of that fabric. Strong public schools help build healthier communities, foster understanding, and equip young people with the knowledge and empathy needed to sustain a vibrant democracy.

Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, and advocates who continue to create spaces for connection, learning, and care.

It’s Zero Discrimination today, a day to stand for equality.

In Canada, although significant progress has been made in terms of HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment, stigma and discrimination still persists. For many people living with HIV, discrimination remains a daily reality. It can influence whether someone feels safe accessing healthcare, supported in their workplace, or accepted in their community. These barriers impact mental health, treatment adherence, and overall quality of life.

Zero Discrimination Day reminds us that health equity is inseparable from human rights. Ending HIV requires more than medical advancements. It requires dismantling stigma, advancing human rights, and ensuring equitable access to care and support for all people living with HIV.

A future free from HIV-related discrimination is possible, but it requires collective action.

Today, we recommit to building a community grounded in dignity, respect, and compassion for all.

Today being is a powerful reminder that in many cases, stigma still carries more legal weight than science.

Across Canada, people living with HIV continue to face criminalization under laws that fail to reflect decades of medical advancement. We now know that effective treatment prevents transmission (U=U), yet outdated legal frameworks persist.

These laws do not prevent HIV. Instead, they fuel fear, discourage testing, undermine public health efforts, and disproportionately impact Indigenous, Black, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. While people living with HIV wait for meaningful law reform, many live under the ongoing threat of prosecution simply because of their health status.

HIV IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE, NOT A CRIME.

Our community partner, , continues to lead critical advocacy efforts pushing for evidence-based legal reform and the decriminalization of HIV non-disclosure in Canada.

It’s time to bring our laws into the 21st century. Science over stigma. JUSTICE OVER FEAR.
