Personal accounts from people who've been helped by Victoria Cool Aid Society and AIDS Vancouver Island.

Housing shortages, substance use and increasing mental health issues impact every citizen and business in the region. The Access Health Centre will address these issues by delivering one-stop comprehensive services to the Capital Region's most impoverished citizens.

Access is a partnership between AIDS Vancouver Island and the Victoria Cool Aid Society. Both organizations have a long history and understanding of the obstacles facing people who are poor, homeless, addicted, living with chronic illness or other challenges in their life.
