2022 PROVINCIAL ELECTION TOOLKIT

Ontario votes on June 2, 2022.

This is the time to raise issues facing Ontario’s HIV/AIDS sector with candidates and parties. As we move into the next term of provincial leadership, we hope to generate renewed and lasting commitments from political candidates concerning important policy, support, treatment, and program delivery issues facing community-based agencies, AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs), and Ontario’s people living with and at risk for HIV/AIDS.https://oan.red/2022-election/

COVID-19 Resources

Information about COVID-19 and People living with HIV

 

  • As a reminder, enhanced proof of vaccination and other requirements continue to apply in existing settings. This means ensuring that you’ve gotten your booster shot, and can demonstrate proof of vaccination with a QR code. If you’ve yet to download your vaccine certificate, you can do it on this Province of Ontario website.

    This is a welcome change for small businesses who have been long-suffering and deeply impacted by rolling lockdowns. When you are shopping and dining in the coming weeks, I encourage you to consider shopping locally and supporting small businesses.

We encourage you to share this important information with people in Canada and we appreciate your support in spreading awareness of these resources.
 

For more information, visit Canada.ca/covid-vaccine and your provincial or territorial website for information based on where you live.

Comme la COVID-19 est toujours présente au Canada, nous devons tous continuer à faire de simples gestes pour garder la santé, limiter la propagation de la maladie et prendre des décisions en toute connaissance de cause concernant la vaccination. Pour communiquer des renseignements crédibles sur la vaccination contre la COVID-19 pour les enfants de 5 à 11 ans aux parents au Canada, nous vous fournissons des ressources de Santé Canada et de l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada qui peuvent être diffusées dans vos réseaux. Nous vous encourageons à communiquer ces renseignements importants aux personnes au Canada et nous vous remercions de nous aider à faire connaître ces ressources.
 

 
Visitez le site Canada.ca/vaccin-covid pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements, et visitez le site Web de votre province ou territoire pour obtenir des renseignements propres à votre région.
 
Nous disposons également de ressources sur la COVID‑19 dans des langues autres que l’anglais et le français. Ces ressources multilingues sont accessibles sur les pages de ressources de sensibilisation à la COVID‑19.
