Contemporary classical music provided its responses to, and sources of
support during, the early years of the AIDS epidemic: music that addressed
the rampant fear, anger, frustration, defiance, longing, and loss from that
time. The exhibition “I’ve Got U Under My Skin: AIDS & Classical Music” at
University of British Columbia in Vancouver includes work by Bob Ostertag,
Pauline Oliveros, Lyle Chan, Meredith Monk, Julius Eastman, winners from a
Malawi choral composition competition themed on AIDS prevention, and much
more. Runs until January 15, 2023.

CATIE is presenting this webinar in partnership with the Canadian Network
on Hepatitis C (CanHepC). The webinar will provide an overview of the
Canadian landscape of hepatitis C testing, available testing technologies,
approaches with different populations, and opportunities and gaps in our
testing strategies. With frontline service providers, we will discuss
testing strategies to help reach the undiagnosed. November 23.

(Re)conciliation

A core approach of PAN’s work is our commitment to ongoing learning, and we
centre this section in that commitment to see and challenge the harms in
ongoing colonialism. We recognize that the word reconciliation can be
problematic, because it implies there was a good relationship between
Indigenous and non-Indigenous people at some point in time, which isn’t the
case. After much discussion, we choose it because it's a recognizable term,
and hope that it connects people to the important work that needs to be
done.

Vancouver could become the first city in Canada to implement the United
Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) with a
plan developed alongside the three First Nations on whose territory the
city is located. A joint task force with city officials and members of the
Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations has produced a report with 79
calls to action aimed at implementing the United Nations declaration in
Vancouver.

Nearly 20 high-ranking Vancouver police officers and police board members,
including Chief Adam Palmer, came bearing gifts to host what was set to be
an apology feast in the Heiltsuk Nation community of Bella Bella. But the
gifts and the apology were rejected because neither of the two Vancouver
Police Department (VPD) constables who arrested Heiltsuk man Maxwell
Johnson and his granddaughter in 2019 showed up.

Healing Happens Here: Decolonizing primary care through Indigenous

UBC Learning Circle presents this webinar with Marlee Poole from Vancouver
Aboriginal Health Society on November 22. All are welcome. What can
land-based healing practices look like in cities? How do they connect to
systemic changes (including #LandBack) needed for Indigenous communities to
heal and thrive? How has city planning, as part of colonial “nation
building,” created health inequities by disconnecting urban Indigenous
people from the rich histories and medicines of the land?

BC’s community social services sector experienced significant and unfunded
expenses as a result of moving to virtual and remote service-delivery
during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Providing safe and accessible

ever before. The Community Social Services Technology Fund will provide
grant funding to community social service organizations to offset the added
IT costs of adapting to new ways of working and delivering services. It can
also provide grant funding for purchasing laptops, equipment, and covering
IT costs related to increasing your clients’ access to virtual supports,
learning opportunities, and employment. Apply by October 31.
