Sex Positive Blogging

ASPSHs 10th Western Canadian Sexual Health Conference took place in Vancouver this year. This was a great learning and sharing experience for health professionals across Canada. The conference’s move to the coast allowed local students, practitioners and not for profit groups to attend that may not have had a chance previously, providing further opportunities to strengthen professional networks between our health communities.

The local gay and lesbian news provided positive feedback and review to their communities, further building awareness of this valuable health and community wellness resource.
