Our Mission

The AIDS Coalition of Cape Breton is a non-profit, community based, volunteer driven organization whose purpose is to prevent the spread of HIV in the community and to create a supportive environment for those infected by HIV/AIDS. In pursuit of this, the Coalition uses a community development approach in providing education, support, and advocacy on HIV/AIDS and related issues for the people of Cape Breton.


AIDS AWARENESS WEEK & WORLD AIDS DAY”

AIDS Awareness Week From November 24th to December 1st (World AIDS DAY DEC 1st)
I would like to take this time to remind everyone that: @ 6 PM, St. George's Church Nepean St. Sydney.

AIDS Awareness Week takes place from November 24th to December 1st.


There are 33.2 Million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007, some 2.5 Million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of the people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they reach the age of 35.


Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But, HIV today is a threat to men, Women and children world wide.

In Canada there are 62,000 cases of HIV/AIDS.

Every two hours a new person is infected in Canada.

In Nova Scotia there have been 714 infections to date!

So please wear a Red Ribbon, (Free of Charge) to show your Support and Awareness for those who have passed and for those living with and for those who are infected /affected by HIV/AIDS here in Cape Breton and Globally.

Also On December 1st, there will be a Candle Light Vigil at St. George's Church on Nepean Street here in Sydney at 6 pm, a short reception at Loaves and Fishes will follow.

Hope to see you there!

In Hope and Spirit…
