Vancouver Island PWA Society is the ONLY peer based HIV/AIDS organization on Vancouver Island. We are a non-profit, member based organization made up of HIV+ people. A volunteer Board of Directors, all of whom are living with HIV/AIDS, governs our Society. This is to ensure the stability of our grassroots philosophy of ‘By PWA’s for PWA’s’, in keeping with our person supporting model of service. In addtion to supporting our mission, we also offer life enhancement activities and a number of programs and services to our membership. Many of these programs and services are prepared and operated by HIV+ member volunteers themselves. With staff support we encourage this as we feel it enables self-empowerment for our members and promotes self-improvement through a healthy lifestyle and outlook on the future. All proceeds and donations go to support these programs and services directly. With one staff person we ensure the larger percentage of funding goes to support these important services.

NOFCC is an independent volunteered based registered charity established in 1998 by a group of parents of children with cancer. These parents wanted to provide help and support to families, which was not available through other programs. Being parents themselves, they recognized the particular difficulties involved in caring for a child with cancer and the geographic challenges of living in the north. NOFCC serves all families who have been touched by childhood cancer – families with a child on active treatment, those off treatment or receiving follow up care, and bereaved families. Our area expands north to Timmins and Kapuskasing, south to Parry Sound, east to North Bay and west to Sault Ste Marie and all areas in between. NOFCC is not funded by the government and the volunteers rely solely on fundraising activities and donations. At any given time, there are over 30 children in Northern Ontario on active treatment. Many treatments last over 2 years.
