🕯️ World AIDS Day Vigil – December 1st 🕯️

Oahas and Réseau ACCESS Network will be hosting a community vigil on December 1st in honour of World AIDS Day and the start of Indigenous HIV Awareness Week.

The vigil will bring the community together to remember those lost, honour those living with HIV, and stand in solidarity with communities disproportionately impacted by HIV across Canada.

The evening will include guest speakers, Indigenous medicines, refreshments, and community resources. All are welcome to attend and take part in this moment of reflection, connection, and support.

📍 Downtown Sudbury Public Library
🕯️ December 1st – Evening Vigil @ 5:30 PM

Everyone is invited to come together to remember, challenge stigma, and strengthen community compassion.

This week at NISA!

We've got some really exciting things working behind the scenes to bring to you. January will bring some new programs and exciting new opportunities for you to enhance your wellness and recovery. This will include new recreational, hybrid-virtual groups, and some more evidence-based groups all designed for you. Unfortunately, this means that we won't be open sometimes while we work on the development and some of our staff get some necessary training. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you find yourself needing some support, please give the Regional Warm Line a call at 1-866-856-9276. It's open all week, 6pm to 12am.

We do hope to see you on Thursday for the membership meeting and Friday for the art bazaar! Help support our staff and members by checking out their amazing artwork!
