THE REGIONAL FORUM
The Toronto Regional Forum will involve presentations by guest speakers, 
interactive theatre, and group discussions in order to share knowledge and 
create personal and sustainable strategies that increase our ability as young 
people to prevent and manage HIV/AIDS in local, national and global contexts.   
We encourage registration from HIV positive and HIV-affected or at-risk youth, 
youth working around HIV/AIDS issues and organizations, and youth who have 
little or no knowledge or experience with HIV/AIDS. Knowledge shared at the 
regional forums will inform a Canadian Youth Declaration on HIV/AIDS and a 
nationally distributed Peer to Peer Resource Manual, as well as a National 
Youth Survey on HIV/AIDS. In addition, we hope the regional forum will help 
facilitate greater youth participation in the XVI International Conference on 
AIDS, scheduled for August 2006 in Toronto.
