NoTimeToWait
Since 2020, NoTimeToWait has become a powerful movement, uniting young leaders across Canada to learn, connect, and drive change in HIV advocacy.
As Canada’s largest youth-focused HIV event, NoTimeToWait provides a unique platform to engage in impactful discussions, hands-on workshops, and inspiring talks. Whether you're a student, a young advocate, or someone passionate about change, this event is your chance to be part of a global movement. Change is needed now; there is NoTimeToWait for youth to take charge in the HIV response and advocate to make a real difference in areas like STI prevention, youth tokenism and exploitation, and comprehensive Sex-Ed reform.

"I can do that too..”
