AIDS Vancouver recognizes “heroes” at inaugural Red Ribbon Awards

AIDS VANCOUVER RECOGNIZED some of its “unsung heroes” at an event marking the organization’s 30th anniversary Tuesday (July 30).

Founders Noah Stewart and Gordon Price, physician and former board member Brian Willoughby, 87-year-old volunteer May McQueen, and the late Bob Tivey, who was the first executive director of AIDS Vancouver, were all recognized as part of the inaugural Red Ribbon Awards.

Throughout the last month, AIDS Vancouver has been issuing a video each day as part of its 30 30 campaign, featuring speakers including McQueen, who has been volunteering with the organization for 21 years, founders Stewart and Price, B.C. Civil Liberties Association policy director Micheal Vonn, and Julio Montaner, the director of the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS.
