About ANKORS

ANKORS programs are provided in a non-judgmental manner without prejudice ensuring the individual's right to anonymity and confidential access. We serve those living with and at the greatest risk of acquiring HIV / AIDS and/or HCV, who have difficulty obtaining services elsewhere, especially due to substance use, mental illness, sexual orientation, gender identity, race and ethnicity, and/or other social barriers.​
AIDS Vancouver Island (AVI)
Our vision is of a world free of HIV and hepatitis C. Until that time, those most at risk in our community continue to be marginalized - not only by their disease, but also by stigma and discrimination, poverty, and despair. As we fight these diseases, we join with those we serve to provide services based on consideration and respect and to provide visibility and a voice in the community.

Statement of Humility and Gratitude from the Street College Author:


Picture
I had the great honour of assembling the knowledge in this collection from a diverse and community-based knowledge base.

Harm Reduction knowledge has always been something that comes first and foremost from on the ground. The lives and bodies of drug-using people, sex workers and intersectionally marginalized folks have been the progenitors and test grounds for much of what is collected here. In the process of gathering this knowledge, I may have missed pieces or had things lost in translation.

As a reader, you may also be missing context to completely grasp the ways that I tried to communicate these ideas. Recognizing the ideas within as living artifacts of resistance culture, we can recognize the limitations of the written word.

​I wish to apologize to those from who I have learned and gathered this knowledge from for the pieces that may end up lost in the exchanges between us.

I am grateful to ANKORS, AVI, SOLID and individuals from the communities of drug users who helped inform this project in both Victoria and Nelson.
