BC Place lights up red for World AIDS Day 2020

December 1st, 2020

BC Place will light up red to recognize World AIDS Day on Tuesday, December 1st.

Since 1988, World AIDS Day has been celebrated each year on December 1st to commemorate the lives lost to AIDS-related illnesses and to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS.

Globally, approximately 32 million lives have been lost due to AIDS-related illness, and today, 37.9 million people are living with HIV around the world. It is essential to continue advocating for more accessible testing, treatment and care for people living with HIV and to end HIV stigma and discrimination.
