May 20th, 2010 | Posted by pfmarchive in uncategorized

Gay and queer men to look at health, wellness in Nanaimo

A three-day-long gathering in Nanaimo on May 28-30 is designed for gay and queer men who want to do more than “just survive.” SHINE will bring together men for workshops, social events, hikes, talking and socializing.

The event is an initiative of AIDS Vancouver Island and is led by Liam “Captain” Snowdon, an outreach worker with AVI. It begins on Friday May 28 with a reception. More information can be found at eventbrite.com.

We speak with Liam “Captain” Snowdon about the upcoming workshop and about his experiences in health promotion and education.
