On August 4, 1983, we incorporated as the Vancouver AIDS Society under the Society Act of British Columbia (S-18380). Our governance process is regulated by the BC Societies Act and our constitution and bylaws that have been developed over years.

Members are an important part of AIDS Vancouver's governance process.

Vancouver AIDS Society's members participate in governance by electing the board of directors at the Society's Annual General Meeting each fall, and by participating from time to time in committees established by the Board. Vancouver AIDS Society memberships are free, and they need to be renewed every year.

Our Annual General Meeting includes the presentation of an annual report on the organization's work, and our audited financial statements.

Membership in the Society is open to anyone that supports the mission and vision of Ribbon Community. Membership is free. If you are interested in further details or would like to become a member please contact us at 604-893-2201. 

You do not need to be a member to access programs and services at Ribbon Community.
