Some of HRVic's Projects & Programs
All of HRVic's projects, programs, training, events and happenings are peer led- meaning that they are all led by people with living and lived experience of substance use and whatever that project involves ie. stigma or opioid dependance treatment or BBV testing/treatment or overdose.
This is what makes all that HRVic does unique from other orgs/services that may provide a similar service. #nothingaboutuswithoutus

Gilbert Baker worked tirelessly to ensure that the rainbow flag would become a universally recognised, global emblem of the LGBTQIA+ community and its proud legacy. The original 1978 flag initially had a total of eight stripes, each one symbolising an aspect of the LGBTQIA+ movement. The rainbow flag became synonymous with the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community and our struggles. These included pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic and art, indigo for serenity, and violet for spirit. This iconic symbol and its evolution have become an intrinsic part of LGBTQIA+ identity, culture, politics and society.
“Dance fused us, magical and cleansing. We were all in a swirl of color and light. It was like a rainbow,” said Baker.
“A rainbow. That’s the moment when I knew exactly what kind of flag I would make.”
