The Cornerstone: Fall 2010
The Dr. Peter Centre is Open 7 Days a Week!
On Saturday December 4th, just three days after World AIDS Day, the Dr. Peter Centre will start weekend service for its Day Health Program. Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor and the Provincial Government, the Dr. Peter Centre has the funding to provide programming on Saturdays and Sundays for the next three years. The funding was announced at the Life Commitment Dinner, inspiring many guests to support the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation with their gifts.
