Education Centre observes World AIDS Day

In recognition of World AIDS Day December 1st, the AIDS Committee of North Bay and Area (ACNBA) in partnership with NUSU and CSRC painted the school red.

To kick things off a special ceremony was held in the main Education Centre foyer to recognize the most devastating diseases of our time and how each of us can make a difference.

World AIDS day was established by the World Health Organization in 1988, and World AIDS Day serves to focus global attention on the devastating impact the HIV/AIDS epidemic has had.

AIDS is the fourth-leading cause of death world-wide, so observing the day provides an opportunity for individuals, governments, and community organizations to demonstrate the importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS.
