Madog in Motion show

Summary: (http://madog.ca/madoginmotion/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/mim-act-150x150.jpg)Host Steven Hobé is joined in-studio by John Maxwell, Director of Programs and Services for ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto), for this special edition of Madog in Motion. This programme covers a broad spectrum of topics related to HIV/AIDS, including how perception of this disease has shifted over the decades; where those who are recently diagnosed can seek help; as well as touching upon the controversial proposition by current Mayor Rob Ford to cut all city grants, including those to HIV/AIDS community funding. Since 1983 the AIDS Committee of Toronto, or ACT as it’s known, has developed programs and services that respond to the changing needs of the communities it serves. ACT provides support services that empower men, women and youth living with HIV to achieve self-determination, informed decision-making, independence, and overall well-being.
