Community Programming

Registration for the Positive Leadership Development Institute's Free Online Core Training is open until October 25, 2021.

PLDI is designed for PLHIV who are interested in building their leadership and resilience capacities either in the HIV sector or their personal lives. PLDI is a professional development opportunity – it is not a support group. People attending the training are expected to be present and participating for the duration.

All applications will be reviewed by the PLDI Ontario team to ensure diversity and a mix of seasoned and emerging leaders. 


The Online Core Training sessions will be held on Wednesdays - November 10, 17, & 24, 2021.

National Women and HIV Workshop Series

In honour of 10 years of research and advocacy, CHIWOS is hosting the National Women and HIV Virtual Workshop Series to engage and expand the knowledge-sharing network, invite discussion, identify gaps, and develop goal statements and collective actions that will improve the health, healthcare, and wellbeing of women living with HIV in Canada. 

These workshops will be delivered over five weeks from November to December 2021 on ZOOM. 

This workshop series will highlight the diversity of voices, histories, and leadership of women living with HIV across Canada. The workshop series will be simultaneously available in English and French. 

For more details, including the workshop series agenda and registration link, click here or contact Mina Kazemi at mina.kazemi@wchospital.ca
