Our arrival in Prince George was met with the most exciting of sensations. The air was cool and
crisp. Beds of snow highlighted the vibrant purples, greens, and reds of the native flora. What a
beautiful place to be!

Accompanied by the ever-gracious Travis Shaw, we made our way to the University of Northern
British Columbia (UNBC), the next location in our knowledge dissemination tour in BC. Having
arrived a bit earlier, we had an opportunity to explore the campus.

On the days of March 21st and March 22nd, members of the CBRC with colleagues from
HIM and the BCCDC, embarked on a journey to Vancouver Island to share some data on
gay men living in the province, talk about some of the initiatives that exist in Vancouver,
while at the same time learn about some of the issues affecting men who live in Nanaimo
and Victoria. The workshops were organized by AIDS Vancouver Island (AVI.org) and
were attended by nurses, therapists, members of the community, and other professionals
