Dr. Peter Centre

Dr. Peter Centre The Dr. Peter Centre provides support for HIV/AIDS care in Metro Vancouver. We do not rehabilitate people to join society. We stand with people to join humanity

Thank you to Little Elves Foundation for their generous and long-running holiday gifts. A warm thank you to the Aune Foundation for donating the funds for us to stay open Christmas Day—what a gift, to be able to offer our participants continuity and warmth this time of year. And a special thank you to the Aune family for an additional “Santa Nina” gift for our participants.

We're still reflecting on how special Monday was for our participants and staff. We had the opportunity to honour the community members, friends, and family we've lost. Miss Chantelle Lee shared a deeply moving poem that will now be on display inside of the Centre. Dr. Peter is forever present here and we're so grateful for the community that continues to uplift his memory.

This World AIDS Day, we remember those we have lost. And ask that we continue to remember those still with us.

Today, we held a lock ceremony, encouraging people to write the name of someone loved and lost. Then, we celebrated. With music, with drag performances, with spirited speeches and poem recitals, we celebrated being here together. Wherever you are, whatever your status, we ask that you take a little moment to reflect on loss and celebrate life with us.

It's the best kind of mistake to announce: After some final tallying, an eleventh-hour wave of generosity in our silent auction pushed the total past $200,000!! We love a round number, especially when it means more meals and more life-affirming moments of connection.

We accepting sealed bids for our last Live Auction item: Two (2) Category 1* tickets to Match 27 of the FIFA World Cup in Vancouver!

*Category 1 tickets are the premium tier, seated close to the action on the pitch.

World Cup tickets sold out instantly, and the resale market is already skyrocketing (expected to extend into the stratosphere as we near June).

As CTV notes: the level of demand around World Cup is like trying to nab a ticket for Taylor Swift, Oasis and Toronto Blue Jays all at once.
