HALCO - Jill McNall - Farewell Bash
HALCO - Jill McNall - Farewell Bash
January 23, 2020
After 13 yearsat HALCO (and almost 40 years since her first involvement with legal clinics),Jill McNall, community legal worker extraordinaire, will be retiring. Jill’simpact on countless people in the HIV and legal clinic communities (and beyond)is incredibly profound. Her skills, dedication, dependability andthoughtfulness are matched only by her kindness. Jill is the definition of amensch. Among many things, we will miss her keen attention to detail as well asfantastic ability to effectively use plain language to convey complex legalissues. While it is incredibly difficult to imagine HALCO and the clinic systemwithout Jill, and while we will miss her something terrible, we could not behappier for her as she heads into retirement.
To read amessage from Jill, please see page 18 of HALCO’s recent newsletter.
Please join usin celebrating Jill’s contribution to justice in Ontario. The party commencesat 5.30pm on Thursday, January 23 at the Duke of Cornwall (400 University Ave.#100, Toronto, Ontario M5G 1S5).
We very muchlook forward to seeing you there.

The Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention TB Conference seeks to help its audience to understand HIV and TB in today's world.
Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Toronto Downtown
Friday, 31 January 2020 | 10:00 am to 3:45 pm
About the Event
Information from key speakers including: Public Health, Support Worker, Mental Health practitioner and most importantly ACB people living with HIV. The experience of coming to a new country is already daunting, scary and intimidating add the pressure of having to do additional testing because of your nationality and race and it can quickly be terrifying. Canada’s Public Health officials have an additional screening test for Tuberculosis (TB) for new immigrants specifically from Africa and the Caribbean regions. During these screenings, if the person discloses that they have had TB in the past – which was successfully treated – they are immediately mandated to do treatment in Canada. This can involve taking medication that can interfere with their HIV medication which has it’s own repercussions for the person. Beyond that some people are subjected to a nurse coming to their home to observe them taking the medications correctly, others can be quarantined until the treatment is complete. The toll this process takes on the person’s mental wellness and health can be great and lead to a heightened level of fear and anxiety and perhaps some cases of depression.
Registration Required.
