Love Positive Women Valentine’s Event
This year’s event will feature refreshments, an opportunity to make and receive valentines, crafty activities, and most importantly, community. All are welcome to join this event; kid-friendly activities will be available. Professional ASL interpretation will be provided during this event.
No RSVP is required.
LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN: Romance Starts at Home! (LPW) started in 2013. It is a holiday for women living with HIV that happens annually from February 1st – 14th. Using Valentine’s Day as a backdrop, LPW creates a platform for individuals and communities to engage in public and private acts of love and caring for women living with HIV. Going beyond romantic love to deep community love and social justice, LPW is a call to action. It requires participants to reflect on how they as either a woman living with HIV or an ally will commit to loving women living with HIV and then do it. Through action, change can be made to fueling economies of love and compassion. Working from a place of strength, LPW focuses on the idea of interconnectedness, relationship building, loving oneself and loving ones community. By starting from a place of love, within oneself there are endless ways that the negative impacts that HIV has on women living with HIV can be lessened.
Shaw caption problems
Update:
here is an updated info page of how to enable/disable Closed Captioning – https://community.shaw.ca/
Anyone who is a Shaw customer and has problems with captions should contact them for help at dale.henderson@sjrb.ca .
Problems I am aware of that involve Shaw include
– pubs and other public places that are unable to turn captions on for their TVs
– captions that sometimes appear smaller than at other times
Henry Vlug had these problems and was told on January 20th by Shaw that
“we encourage you, and any of our customers with accessibility questions or challenges, to get in touch with our local Customer Care teams for personalized service. You can contact me directly at dale.henderson@sjrb.ca or SMS text to my cell phone at 403-681-4610 should you have any further concerns or feedback.
Yours truly,
Dale Henderson Director, Shaw TV Programming & VOD/Interactive Shaw Cablesystems G.P. “
