AIDS Awareness Week 2011
We’re off to a snowy start for AIDS Awareness Week this year. Due to the storm, the flag raising and proclamation from the CBRM has been postponed till next Thursday, December 1st at noon. There are still many events coming up where you can support the cause!
AIDS Memorial Quilt
Two showings on Tuesday, November 29th! 10am-12pm & 4pm-6pm at the McConnell Library
The AIDS Quilt is a longstanding project to remember our brothers and sisters lost to AIDS. Each patch was made by loved ones of a person with HIV/AIDS who is no longer with us. Join us in remembering our dead.
Cottonland Redux
Film screening & Community Forum, 6pm-9pm, Wednesday, November 30th at the McConnell Library
Five years have passed since Cottonland gave national attention to the wave of prescription opiate misuse in former coal towns in Cape Breton. We will be screening Cottonland and hosting a public forum to give our community an opportunity to reflect on what (if anything) has changed since the film’s release.

6pm, Thursday, December 1st at St Philip’s African Orthodox, 34 Hankard St, Whitney Pier
