E-mail: hon@accesswave.ca or ea@accesswave.ca
Web Site: http://www.hon93.ca
Formed: 1993

Mission: Our purpose is to educate First Nations people about HIV and AIDS. Knowing the risks
associated with the spread of HIV and defining the myths and facts about AIDS is the
first step to healing our nations. Eliminating the spread of HIV in First Nations
communities is not the only focus of our organization because we see this disease as a
symptom of a greater problem. Our goal is to help First Nations people rediscover their
pride, traditions and spirituality in an attempt to improve child development and
eliminate family violence, substance abuse, depression, and suicide.
Programs/Services: The following are some of the programs and services offered by Healing Our
Nations:
A toll-free number that won't cost you anything to call, won't show up on your phone bill, and
we won't know who you are if you call.
By law we can't tell anyone you have HIV or AIDS, but we can offer support to anyone who
has HIV or AIDS.
Information if you want to go for an HIV test. We can answer questions; tell you where to go
for a test, and what a positive or negative test result means. You don't have to tell us who you
are, but we will ask very personal questions.
Help in dealing with all the feelings that come up and who to tell when a First Nations person
finds out they have HIV or AIDS. We can try to guide you and we will never tell someone
else that you have HIV/AIDS.
Support if you have HIV/AIDS and don't know where to turn, we can meet in private or you
can visit our office. Nobody will know what we talked about and it is up to you if you want to
meet in person or on the phone.
Information on treatments for HIV/AIDS, including some Indian Medicines that can help you
stay healthier longer.
We offer financial help for First Nations people living with HIV/AIDS in Atlantic Canada.
You can call us and ask about the A.P.H.A. Fund. By law, all of this is confidential and we
will do everything to protect your identity.

3
 We also provide free training and education to communities so that people have more
awareness about what HIV/AIDS is, how it is spread and how it isn't spread. This is gained
through the following workshops:
- Basic HIV/AIDS 101
- Basic Hepatitis A, B, C 101
- Addictions & HIV/AIDS
- Women & HIV/AIDS
- Youth and HIV/AIDS
- Healthy Sexuality

Phone: (506) 453-4989
E-mail: safespaces@unb.ca
Web Site: http://www.unb.ca/safespaces
Formed: 1998-1999

Mission: The UNB Safe Spaces Project involves the placement of stickers on doors, in
offices, and in residence rooms. These stickers promote an area as a “safe
place” so individuals can be open about their sexual orientation without fear of
homophobia or harassment. Any student, staff, or faculty member is welcome.
This initiative is intended to show gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, two-
spirited, queer and questioning individuals (GLBTTQ) that support is all around
them. It also shows those who display stickers that their support is an important
and not uncommon thing. It also provides positive peer pressure towards
homophobic individuals, showing them that their intolerance is not appropriate.

Programs/Services: The Sticker Program

The sticker means that you believe discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation is wrong. It means that you believe that the systematic and society-
condoned silencing of people who are different is wrong. It means that you will
not allow homophobic or transphobic jokes or comments in your office, and you
will encourage anyone making such comments to stop. It means that if
someone tells you they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, two-spirited,
queer or questioning their sexuality, you will not make an issue of it, or treat
them any differently than any other person.

The sticker does not mean that you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered,
two-spirited, queer or questioning your sexuality. It does not mean that you are
a political activist in GLBTTQ issues. It does not mean that you discriminate
against straight students, staff or faculty. Persons interested in getting a sticker
can contact the project.

The UNB Safe Spaces Project is very open to feedback - They exist because of
honest and open discussions, and they don't shy away from hard questions. If
you have any questions, concerns, suggestions or comments, they welcome
them. You can send your feedback by email (confidentiality is, of course,

10
 assured), or through campus mail to UNB Student Affairs & Services, attention

E-mail: info@safespaces.ca
Formed: 1998

Mission: Safe Spaces offers services for gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLB) youth and for
youth who are questioning their sexual orientation. The SAFE SPACES project
started with research done with gay, lesbian and bisexual youth by Bill Ryan
from McGill University in collaboration with Project 10 from Montreal. The
results of this research confirmed that because of feelings of isolation, fear and
other issues that GLB youth must overcome, these youth are more vulnerable to
unsafe behaviors which put them at greater risk for STDs / HIV, drug abuse and
suicide. Health Canada, in collaboration with the Canadian Public Health
Association, accepted to finance what would be Phase II of the project in order
to be able to offer help to GLB youth between 14 and 25 years old. Moncton is
one of the four sites in Canada, which also includes Kamloops, BC; Montreal,
QC; and Halifax, NS. These sites were chosen for the Safe Spaces Project to
try to break the feelings of isolation felt by youth and to help them accept their
sexual orientation in a safe and open environment.

With the services they offer, Safe Spaces aims to increase the community’s
knowledge and understanding about the issues that GLB youth face in the
Greater Moncton Area. Safe Spaces also wants to develop activities for GLB
youth that provide additional access to education and support.

Programs/Services: Information about sexual orientation includes coming out kits for youth dealing
with their sexual orientation and for professionals working with those youth.
Safe Spaces is also available for Public Educational Workshops or other
presentations done in schools around sexual orientation, homophobia or
information sessions on our services. They also have a support group as needed
and offer individual counseling for youth in need. Safe Spaces wants to offer
what youth need the most: A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

Languages: Services are offered in both English and in French.

community to create greater communication and participation and, in doing so,
strengthen the bond of the community.

 PFLAG Canada

Contact: Visit www.pflagcanada.ca for a list of local chapters across the country
PFLAG (formerly Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) was
born of a need by parents to help themselves and family members deal with,
understand, and accept their non-heterosexual children and the new world
they are thrust into when their children "come out."
PFLAG Canada has broadened the scope and is a nation-wide organization
that deals with sexual orientation and gender identity issues from a family
perspective, providing support, education and resources. Our compassionate
volunteers across Canada open their hearts and homes, give freely of their time
and are there to listen to people in their time of crisis. If you are gay, lesbian,
bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, intersex, queer or questioning
(GLBTT2IQQ) or if you care about someone who is, let us help.

Mission: PFLAG Canada is a national voice that speaks for a more accepting
Canadian society by providing support, education and resources on issues of
sexual orientation and gender identity.

Through our PFLAG Chapter and Contact network, we actively assist in the
recognition and growth of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual,
two-spirit, intersex, queer and questioning persons and their families and
friends, within their diverse cultures and societies.

Programs/Services: The education of others begins with self-education. We place material on

our web site as it becomes available to us. This may be information that is
not available elsewhere. But, because of its primary importance, our first
resource is reprinted from the web site of PFLAG USA, whom we thank for
their permission to do so. Be sure also, when visiting our web site, to see our
