WELCOME TO ARCH

At HIV/AIDS Resources and Community Health (ARCH), we dream of a time and place where everyone is free to live healthy, stigma-free, vital lives.

To achieve this vision, we provide programs, services, education and support to people living with, affected by, and at risk of, HIV and AIDS in Guelph, Wellington County, Dufferin, Grey and Bruce Counties.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACTION

ARCH in solidarity with Indigenous Communities

We want to express our deepest condolences to the families and communities of 215 children found in the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc territory who never made it home from the Kamloops Residential School.  The legacy of colonialism in Canada, the damage and harm it continues to cause, is not a dark part of Canada’s history but a reality that continues to ripple throughout communities.  We acknowledge that Indigenous communities have shared this knowledge before and have led the call to action for years.

SAFE PLACE PROGRAM

ARCH Response to Safe Place Program

ARCH supports the community letter opposing the Guelph Police Service’s (GPS) recently launched Safe Place program.  We do not believe that these new stickers are a meaningful step toward making the City of Guelph a safer space for 2SLGBTQI+ communities.

UPCOMING EVENTS
