  • And the Co-Chairs for the 27th Bloor Street Entertains are...

    It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the co-chairs for the 2023 edition of CANFAR’s annual signature fundraiser, Bloor Street Entertains. A long-standing tradition that plays an important role in the city and beyond, Bloor Street Entertains’ 2023 edition will serve to highlight CANFAR’s national awareness campaigns and strategic implementation projects that are our blueprint to end the HIV epidemic in Canada by 2025.

    This year’s event will be co-chaired by returning BSE Chair Candice Sinclair, along with Janice Fricker and Michael Liebrock. CANFAR Board Member and long-time BSE supporter and sponsor, Sylvia Mantella, has generously accepted to join us as honourary chair for this year’s edition. 

    Our co-chairs are thrilled to be taking on this leadership role and are dedicated to a successful 2023 edition of Bloor Street Entertains.
