On Sunday, Nov. 30, HEAL NS will be hosting the 2025 Halifax World AIDS Day Vigil.
This year the Vigil will be both in-person and virtual. The ceremony starts at 7:00pm.
The in-person Vigil is being held at the University of King's College, New Academic Building (6350 Coburg Road) in Halifax. Masking is requested (and masks will be made available), and ASL will be provided. A scent-free policy is in place for this event. The space is accessible and on a bus route, and metered parking is close by.
The virtual aspect of the Vigil will be available via Zoom, and ASL will be live-streamed as part of the Zoom feed. To register for the Zoom link contact Hanley (see info below).
All are welcome to join us as we remember and celebrate the lives of individuals living with HIV/AIDS who have passed away in Nova Scotia. The night will include the Reading of the Names and a candle-lighting ceremony to honour their lives. There will be speakers, musical performances, and more.
