UPCOMING PYO EVENTS!!!!

The PYO Drop In will be continuing EVERY Thursday all throughout the summer months. Drop In is an excellent time to either hang out with new friends, paint a priceless piece of art, make jewellery, use a computer or have an excellent dinner. Planned activities will be announced as they are coordinated - so stay tuned!

The PYO Program Coordinator was invited and selected to be a Canadian Delegate to attend the 2008 UNGASS (United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS). The event is took place June 10 and 11, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.
