Since
1985, the AIDS
Committee of London, (ACOL), has provided free services to
people living with HIV/AIDS, those affected and those at risk.
Currently, we offer assistance to over 4,000 service users. We
provide case management, counseling and practical assistance to
improve the quality of life for hundreds of people living with HIV
and their families. We also work to reduce the number of new
infections through education and outreach – by providing people at
risk of HIV with the tools and information they need to make
healthier choices.
The
John Gordon Home (JGH),
otherwise known as the London Regional AIDS Hospice is a
residential hospice serving South Western Ontario. The John
Gordon Home is committed to providing personalized
compassionate care to people with HIV/AIDS in a comforting
home-like environment. JGH
has been offering its services to residents of South Western
Ontario since 1992 and is a charitable not-for-profit
organization.
The
John Gordon Home is committed to being The
Home With a Heart and being a leader in the provision of
supportive care and housing to individuals with HIV and AIDS
in London and South Western Ontario.

Camp
Wendake, (Huron for: A place set apart), is a camp for
people living with HIV/AIDS and their care-givers, loved ones, and
traditional/non-traditional families. It is the only camp of its
kind in Canada. The camp has rustic cabins and it is situated on the
beautiful shores of Lake Huron near Bayfield, Ontario.
Camp
Wendake is a non-profit camp, sponsored by the AIDS Committee of
Diocese of Huron. We are staffed almost exclusively by volunteers
and we rely on generous donations from the community to operate our
program.
Camp
Wendake is an amazing contradiction! People gather because of a
common affliction, but find freedom from focusing upon the disease
for a brief time – and find an opportunity to celebrate life. The
camping experience occurs in a community where HIV/AIDS is the
“norm”.
