Our topic will be Relationships: loving ourselves, loving others. We’ll explore romantic relationships, ideas about dating, differences between the “queer world” vs “straight world”, negotiating different forms of relationships, happiness in being single, challenging norms, how your family
and community play a role, etc. |
| Please email me back to confirm your attendance – we’ll be having healthier snacks at this meeting, I promise! : ) |

Volunteers needed for assistance with
proofing translation |
| If you can reads and can possibly translate Hindi, Urdu, or Tamil…we really need you!!!! The Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention (ASAAP) is expanding our resources to provide two provincial resources called Pozitively Healthy: A Gay Man’s Guide to Sex and Health in Ontario and HIV Legal Guide in multiple languages. These resources will be coming in already translated on May 12, and we have until June 5 to have them thoroughly reviewed and proofed by skilled community members so they can go to the province’s printer. This is a fair-sized undertaking, so if there are 2-3 volunteers able to proof and help correct translations in each language, please contact ASAAP’s Coordinator of Volunteers at volunteer@asaap.ca. |
