Dr. Peter 20/20

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Dr. Peter Diaries. Here’s what some of our supporters are saying:

"The courage of Dr. Peter Jepson-Young to take head-on the ignorance and prejudice of the day changed hearts and minds. In 2010, we are all a better, more hopeful people thanks to Dr. Peter and his inspirational work."

Tom Hanks, Honorary Patron of the Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation

"2010 has been wonderful – a banner year in every respect. Peter would be overwhelmed with the success that the Centre has achieved, due to the support of so many caring individuals."

Shirley Young, Dr. Peter’s mother

"Dr. Peter was an outstanding citizen who played a key role in educating the public about HIV/AIDS. Today, the Dr. Peter Centre is making a significant contribution to Vancouver’s stature as a world leader in HIV/AIDS treatment and care."

Mayor Gregor Robertson, who proclaimed September 3rd to 10th, 2010 to be “Dr. Peter Week” in the City of Vancouver.

"We started the Diaries 20 years ago to address a social crisis. We never imagined that they would continue to be so valid and relevant 20 years later. I’m so happy that the Diaries have helped guide the incredible work of the Centre that bears Peter’s name."

 David Paperny, Producer of the Dr. Peter Diaries
