APSS attended the Saskatchewan HIV flag raising at the legislative building before heading to Carmichael for the HIV Carnival full of fun, facts, and awareness. The Annual AIDS Benefit raised $3,038.35! Thank you to Gay & Lesbian Community of Regina, the planning committee, performers, volunteers, donors and everyone who attended. Thank you for your support!   Over the past year, with lots of volunteer help, we upgraded the Drop-In and storage area at the Queen City Exchange. Last year we welcomed over 30,000 visitors to the Drop-In and the installation of a small commercial dishwasher helped us get rid of styro-foam cups. We also updated the storage area.for our supplies.
