Positive Health Network

Saphir, Richard and Edi were this last weekend at the 2026 Halton Region Pride event. Lots of fun and sharing with our diverse communities!

Positive Health Network was thrilled to be part of the Hamilton Afro Jazz Festival on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12, 2026! 🎶🌍

Our team including Esther, Saphir, Nomvelo, and Yei had an incredible weekend connecting with community members, sharing information about our services, and celebrating the richness of African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) cultures. From the vibrant live music and energetic drum circles to dance lessons, amazing food, and meaningful conversations, the festival was filled with joy, connection, and cultural pride.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hello and learn more about Positive Health Network. We are grateful to have shared in such a welcoming celebration of community, culture, and togetherness. We look forward to seeing you again at future community events!

July is Disability Pride Month! This month witnesses the anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States on July 26, 1990, and more recently the Accessible Canada Act that came into action on July 11, 2019. Disability Pride Month celebrates everyone living with a disability, their identities, communities, and contributions while also acknowledging the ongoing barriers of inaccessibility and those who have been lost due to ableist violence and systemic neglect.

Accessibility is a crucial component to HIV prevention, testing, treatment and support. People living with HIV may experience episodic disability, where they go through periods of impairment or limitations due to their illness. Having a disability can also make it difficult for people living with or not living with HIV to access HIV services by having to face physical, architectural, informational, and attitudinal barriers. This July, we commit ourselves and encourage others to consider the accessibility of your services by using resources like A Seat at the Picnic through the link in our bio, or by checking out organizations like
