Casey House’s peer program integrates people with lived experience as part of our hospital’s interdisciplinary clinical team. Peers bridge the gap between community needs and clinical services by drawing from their own personal experiences to  support clients. The program aims to meaningfully assist clients, develop personal and professional growth for peers, and to acknowledge the valued expertise of people with lived experience,. Working in collaboration with peers is an important aspect of Casey House’s commitment to the greater involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS and meaningful engagement of people living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA/MEPA).

Becoming a peer

Prospective peers must share at least one aspect of our clients’ lives, such as living with HIV, experience with substance use, mental health management, or other barriers to accessing health care, and be ready to support other folks in their journey. Many peers begin as Casey House clients, who hear about the program or interact with peers directly. Interested community members fill out an application and go through an interview process to share more about their interests, lived experience, and motivation to do peer work.  Successful applicants do not have to be “perfect applicants”, as the peer program is designed to be mutually beneficial for Casey House and the peer to grow through hands-on experience during the two-year program.

Next, the onboarding process includes two full days of in-person training, online training, and shadowing with an experienced peer. Teachings include Casey House’s missions and values, service offerings, client engagement, harm reduction, active listening, multiple loss journey, and client privacy.

What do peers do?

Peers work all throughout the hospital for personal appointments or in group settings like the lunch program.

Outpatient: Peers can be found as soon as a community member walks through the doors at Casey House. They welcome people, conduct tours, outline Casey House’s services, and check in with people relaxing in the June Callwood den, which has a hot beverage and snack station. For people visiting for the first time, it helps to have a friendly face welcome them. And, for returning clients, peers touch base with them about their personal lives and health goals.

For people accessing the weekday lunch service, peers welcome them in and connect one-on-one. This is an opportunity for prospective clients to learn more about our clinical services, how to become a client, and even be introduced to some of the clinicians who are present during lunch. For community members interested in becoming a client, peers assist them as they fill out the paperwork. This guided procedure helps to take away some of the stress that comes when entering an unfamiliar health care facility.

At the supervised consumption services (SCS), harm reduction peers can be found in the SCS lounge, where clients who have used their substance can relax and enjoy snacks. They monitor clients for adverse reactions or overdose and build rapport over time. Grounded in their lived experience, peers provide judgement-free care for clients no matter their life circumstances.

Inpatient: For clients admitted to our inpatient unit, peers provide friendly visits and a social connection. Peers work in tandem with a client’s clinical care team to learn more about what they are going through and what support they may need. They may listen to their feelings, play games, go for a walk together, or even accompany them to an external medical appointment. Scheduled meetings with a peer can be comforting when a client is admitted to the inpatient unit for extended periods of time.

Blue Door Clinic: Peers anticipating a new Blue Door Clinic client will welcome them into Casey House, orient them to the space, and get them checked in. They go over what to expect in the appointment and help the client feel more at ease. They learn about what additional social assistance services the clients may need. In some cases, peers will accompany clients to the appointment and translate between the client and the provider.

Accompaniments: Across the different streams of care, peers can accompany clients offsite to different clinical and non-clinical appointments as their advocate. A client may have experienced stigma and discrimination in medical settings, so the support of a peer can make accessing care feel safer. Peers accompany clients to appointments and ask questions, take notes, and make sure the client’s needs are met. For clients whose primary language is not English, they feel confident with the peer’s translation, as it comes from someone they know and trust. Peers can also help clients navigate social services, such as government identification clinics or food banks. This can decrease anxiety for people accessing crucial services outside of Casey House.

The impact of the peer program

Peers provide an additional layer of client care grounded in lived experience, empathy, and trust. Clients can show up authentically when they know they have a peer who advocates for their needs, demonstrates understanding, and offers mutual respect. Clients frequently express how meaningful connection and support from peers are. Peers spend additional time with each client, gradually tailoring the relationship to a much more detailed level of care that traditional health care providers often cannot offer.  In the case of translation, having culturally accessible care is essential for client comfort, particularly for clients who have endured discrimination and stigma, having a peer guiding them through the health care system can be a healing experience that restores their resiliency.

Peers often express a sense of fulfillment and purpose derived from peer work. Practically, the peer program also provides an opportunity for people to build skills applicable to social service work and health care positions later.

“A client came to the Blue Door Clinic for the first time and was supported by a peer with similar lived experience who spoke the same language as him. The client was so happy and grateful for the tailored support the peer provided. He shared he had never felt so supported and safe in a health care setting. The client and peer then had lunch together at Casey House, and I witnessed the way they interacted with each other, with such attention and care. To me, this really highlights the innate care the peers possess and how it translates into every interaction with clients.”

—  Sofia, peer program coordinator.

Ultimately, the peer program is a ground-breaking approach to care that focuses on the holistic elements of health care. Peers and clients develop a relationship grounded in humanity and respect. The peer-client relationship produces better health outcomes that empower clients in the process. Casey House is grateful for the skills, expertise, and time that peers commit to clients so that they can feel safer and seen.

Casey House’s 1991 memorial quilt, which commemorates clients who died that year, has been restored thanks to volunteer quilting committee members Arthur Wong and Glenn Bell.

Memorial quilts hold deep significance in the HIV/AIDS movement and queer history. The tradition started with the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt first displayed in 1987 in Washington D.C. as a form of activism and a way for friends and loved ones to memorialize those they had lost. Casey House’s first quilt, which honours 1988 clients, was an original panel in the NAMES Project Quilt and is included in the digital archive of the Canadian AIDS Memorial Quilt.

At Casey House, quilts are designed and sewn by a volunteer committee. Quilting volunteers contribute countless hours and an incredible amount of craftsmanship to each handmade quilt. For many years, friends and family members were invited to contribute to the quilts honouring their loved one. As a result, a variety of different mediums were employed to accommodate different levels of skill and creativity, including embroidery, gel paints, digitally printed fabric, beading, fabric glue, fabric markers, and more.

The 1991 quilt marked a significant year for Casey House, Princess Diana of Wales visited the hospital and was famously photographed shaking hands with clients living with HIV. A fictional retelling of this visit was adapted into a stageplay called Casey & Diana, which premiered at Stratford Theatre in 2023.  In a rare occurrence, the 1991 quilt was loaned and displayed outside the walls of Casey House to Stratford Festival, then Soulpepper Theatre (Toronto) and Theatre Aquarius (Hamilton) to accompany their productions of the play. After a chance encounter with museum curators, the quilt was then included in the Quilts: Made in Canada exhibition at Royal Ontario Museum.

After its tour, it was sent back to volunteer quilting committee members Arthur and Glenn for repairs because while on display they’d noticed that several of the names were faded or had completely disappeared. This is from regular wear inside, but also because early quilts were taken outdoors on occasion to community events or parades and UV exposure in addition to natural aging after multiple decades, compounded the wear and tear of some quilts.

The faded names were corroborated through old photos and our archived records. In some cases where the blocks were completely blank, Arthur used UV lights to detect traces of faded pigment and make out the names. With a better understanding of the repairs needed, the duo began cutting and hand stitching fabric letters that would be more durable than the previous pigments. Structural repairs to the quilt were also made to the display rod sleeve on the back.

We are in awe of the craftsmanship and dedication of our quilting committee members, who generously contribute their time and skills to remember the legacies of those who died at Casey House. Casey House deeply thanks Arthur Wong and Glenn Bell for completing the tremendous undertaking of this reparation, and we look forward to proudly displaying it onsite once again in our seasonal rotation.

From stages to dance floors, drag joy has long been part of Casey House.

At the height of the AIDS epidemic, when fear and stigma were widespread, the Toronto drag community rallied to support a radical idea: a hospice for people dying of AIDS.

What followed was a remarkable series of drag show fundraisers that would shape the future of compassionate HIV/AIDS care in this city.

Between 1987 and 2007, ten drag productions – collectively known as DQ – raised more than one million dollars for Casey House.

These shows were bold, glamourous, and deeply communal. With casts of more than 60 performers and multi-day runs, productions like The Sequin, Lucky Lady and Diva Oz Vegas played to full houses and enthusiastic audiences. They were theatrical, cheeky and dazzling!

But as entertaining as they were, the shows couldn’t stop the impact of AIDS, which was felt both on and off stage.

By the early 1990s, more than 20% of DQ cast members had died as a result of HIV- many at Casey House. Performers honoured those they had lost while continuing to show up, often while managing their own health challenges. They danced while grieving friends. They fundraised while facing their own diagnosis.

Joy was not an escape.
It was an act of love.
An act of resistance.
It was care.

Seventeen years after the last DQ show – a new fundraiser was reborn in that same spirit.

David’s Disco is a high-energy dance party, featuring a drag performance, music that keeps people moving, a silent auction, and unexpected moments in every corner of the packed dance floor.

In only its second year, tickets sold out and it raised over $500,000. The disco was a roaring success.

But David’s Disco is more than a fabulous party.

It’s named in honour of David Shannon, an activist, journalist, and beloved community leader who died at Casey House in 2018 at the age of 55.

In his twenties, David won hearts with his exuberant and witty portrayals of Montreal gay life through his column Out in the City and The Homo Show on McGill radio. As he experienced the devastating losses of the AIDS epidemic -including the death of his best friend – David became an articulate and passionate advocate for the gay community, speaking out against police hostility and the indifference of the wider world.

He also worked to combat the loneliness experienced by people living with HIV. David co-founded AIDS Community Care Montreal (ACCM) and volunteered as an AIDS buddy, offering comfort and companionship to strangers facing the end of life.

David went on to have a long and successful journalism career at CBC in both Montreal and Toronto, and he was a much-loved brother and uncle. At his request, his funeral was a disco dance party -filled with memories, laughter, tears, and, of course, dancing.

David’s Disco is inspired by that final wish.

It is an opportunity to celebrate David Shannon, to honour the drag artists and activists who came before him, and to remember all those who have been cared for at Casey House. Funds raised from the evening support compassionate care for individuals living with and at risk of HIV – today and into the future.

While years apart, DQ and David’s Disco hold similar missions. They are part of the same story. We come together. We celebrate. We move to the beat.

Who will you dance for?

David’s Disco, Saturday March 28 at The Concert Hall.

Study reveals only 44% of Canadians are confident that people living with HIV receive stigma-free health care when they need it – a gap the film recognizes through storytelling

TORONTO – February 19, 2026 — Casey House – a hospital unlike any other providing care for people living with and at risk of HIV – today announces the release of Big Fucking Deal, directed by Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Hubert Davis, as part of the hospital’s ongoing Smash Stigma campaign.

Thanks to decades of scientific innovation, HIV is medically manageable for many people. But the ability to access and sustain consistent HIV care is not equally shared, especially when barriers compound and reinforce one another. A study commissioned by Casey House found that more than half of Canadians (54%) don’t feel they understand what it means to live with HIV today – a gap that leaves stigma unchallenged and barriers unseen. Big Fucking Deal responds by demonstrating how stigma intensifies and outcomes diverge when an HIV diagnosis intersects with challenges such as housing insecurity, substance use dependency, mental health challenges, and discrimination tied to identity.

“We’ve made extraordinary progress in HIV treatment, but equity has not kept pace,” said Joanne Simons, CEO, Casey House. “This film, the sixth edition of our longstanding Smash Stigma initiative, is a call to see the full humanity of people living with HIV. It asks Canadians to replace assumption with understanding and empathy, especially when other challenges are present in people’s lives.”

For people navigating multiple barriers at once, the difference between treatment being available and treatment being truly accessible and sustainable can be enormous. It can mean trying to stay connected to care without stable housing, managing mental illness amid trauma or poverty, or facing discrimination that makes seeking support feel unsafe. The film centres these realities not to sensationalize them, but to make visible what stigma often obscures: the human cost of being misunderstood, unsupported, or judged.

“We approached this as a human story first, not a diagnosis,” said Hubert Davis, founder of Folktale films and director of the film. “It’s about what people are carrying, and how that load is magnified for those living with HIV but also confronting difficult realities of housing, mental illness and substance use dependency. We wanted to honour that reality without over-simplifying it. If Big Fucking Deal does one thing, I hope it helps people see stigma differently and see the person first.”

This tension shows up in what Canadians think it takes to live with HIV today. Medication is widely understood, with 82% of Canadians saying consistent access to medication is typically required to stay healthy. However, fewer recognize the role of stigma-free health care (63%) and stable housing (48%) in making consistent care possible. Trust in care is also fragile: only 44% of Canadians say they are confident that people living with HIV in Canada receive stigma-free health care when they need it.

“The science is clear: HIV treatment works. But there are still gaps in understanding, and too little confidence that people will receive stigma-free care when they need it,” said Yasser Ismail, Chief Strategy & Knowledge Officer, Casey House. “That’s exactly the gap Casey House exists to close, by meeting people where they are and ensuring care is delivered with dignity and without judgement.”

Solitary Iceberg (2020), Sunlit Sky (2019), Whirlpool (2022), and After the Storm (2022) by Ooloosie Saila. Installed in inpatient client rooms at Casey House.

Casey House is thrilled to share that four artworks by Inuit artist Ooloosie Saila now adorn the walls of four inpatient rooms, thanks to generous support from Yabu Pushelberg. Casey House inpatient clients frequently spend several weeks here resting and healing; however, the focus isn’t just on physical health during an inpatient stay. We strive to foster overall well-being by creating a serene environment for healing. Given our longstanding connection to the art world, we are delighted to bring artwork into inpatient client rooms.

George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, renowned Canadian interior designers fell in love with Ooloosie Saila’s work when they bought Composition (Isolated Iceberg) at our annual art auction fundraiser, Art With Heart in 2019 and later saw Island Landscapes I in 2022. Saila is from Cape Dorset, Nunavut, and has had work in Art With Heart five times courtesy of Feheley Fine Arts gallery. Saila’s work left a lasting impression on George and Glenn; they are inspired by her use of colour and soaring landscapes. Moreover, as longtime Casey House supporters, they began to think deeply about how HIV disproportionately impacts Indigenous communities across Canada.

Yabu Pushelberg collaborated with RxArt, a nonprofit that integrates artwork into hospitals, to acquire four of Saila’s pieces for Casey House: Sunlit Sky (2019), Solitary Iceberg (2020), Whirlpool (2022), and After the Storm (2022). Installation began in August 2025 and great care was taken to reproduce the artwork with a material that could be regularly sanitized between admissions according to hospital standards.  Meanwhile, we consulted our Indigenous Advisory committee throughout the acquisition process. They suggested that our clients, who span across all different racial, sexual, gender, and spiritual identities, may wish to see art personally relevant to them in the inpatient rooms. As a result, we installed these four with plans to add work from other artists to the remaining ten inpatient rooms.

The inclusion of artwork complements the intentional design of our inpatient client rooms. The 14 private rooms were designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects with the patient experience in mind. Creating a comfortable space that could act as a client’s “home away from home” was crucial for the Hariri Pontarini team.  Each of the rooms includes a closet with hangers, cable television, windows with ample light, a seating area, wall-set wood panels that store bedside medical equipment when not in use, and private washrooms with accessible showers. While someone is admitted to our inpatient unit, doctors, nurses, a pharmacist, a physiotherapist, a occupational therapist, and social workers provide onsite support. Our kitchen services team provides three meals a day delivered to each client during their inpatient stay, so they can be nourished with delicious homecooked food while they heal. When a client is admitted to Casey House, we hope that they feel the warmth and ease that comes from our purposeful design and personalized care services.

With these new art installations, we are able to further elevate the inpatient experience to make our House feel even more like a home. Now, inpatient clients staying in these four rooms can enjoy beautiful landscapes from the comfort of their beds, even when the real skies are cloudy outside their window. Our thanks to George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg for bringing this vision to light. We look forward to adding more artwork to the remaining ten inpatient rooms.

As the year wraps up and many of us reflect on the impact we are making, charitable giving naturally comes to mind. But did you know there’s a joyful way to amplify your generosity and increase your tax savings at the same time?

By donating appreciated stocks or mutual funds directly to Casey House, you can support compassionate health care in your community while taking advantage of one of Canada’s most tax-efficient ways to give.

Why gifts of securities are so powerful

You Get a Double Tax Advantage

Donating publicly traded securities offers two major benefits:

1. No capital gains tax on the appreciated value

If you own publicly traded securities, stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, that have grown in value, donating them directly to Casey House means you don’t pay capital gains tax on that increase.

If instead, you sold the securities and donated the cash, you would owe tax on the capital gain. Direct donation = no capital gains tax at all.

2. You receive a charitable tax receipt for the full value

You’ll receive a charitable donation receipt for the full fair market value of the securities on the day the gift is transferred. This amount can be claimed on your tax return, lowering your taxable income.

So, imagine you purchased shares for $5,000 and today they’re worth $10,000. If you sell them, you will pay tax on the $5,000 gain and have significantly less than $10,000 to donate. If you donate them directly, you avoid that tax entirely, receive a charitable tax receipt for $10,000 and Casey House benefits from a larger donation. More impact for Casey House. More tax efficiency for you.

What Can Be Donated

Most publicly traded securities qualify, including:

• Stocks
• Bonds
• Mutual funds

If you’re unsure, your financial advisor can help confirm eligibility

How to Make a Gift of Securities

Making this type of donation is quick and straightforward:

1. Speak with your financial advisor to decide which securities to give.
2. Complete the transfer form found on the Casey House website:
   (Go to caseyhouse.ca → Support Us → Why Donate Securities)
3. Ask your broker to transfer the securities directly to Casey House.
4. Notify Kulin Matchhar at kmatchhar@caseyhouse.ca so your gift can be processed and acknowledged promptly.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

When you donate securities, you’re helping Casey House to continue offering compassionate, judgment-free care to people living with and at risk of HIV. Your kindness fuels the programs, services, and community support that make a real difference every day.

Thank you for considering this meaningful way to give. Your generosity doesn’t just add up – it transforms lives.

Casey House’s outpatient recreational therapists lead a variety of activities and social support groups each week. Comforts of Home is a cooking workshop that builds skills, teaches nutrition education, and brings a diverse group together to share more than just a meal.

As one of the more popular rec therapy groups, the attendees represent a wide range of lived experiences. Their ethnicities, nationalities, ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and interests fall across a large spectrum; some even have established backgrounds or careers in cooking. And, just as their pasts vary, their goals for the program do too. A newcomer to Canada may be seeking food support, a retired older client who worked as a line cook may be looking to make friends, or someone newly diagnosed with diabetes may be learning how to cook for their new chronic health condition.

Each week, one client is chosen to lead the group and select a recipe.  Beyond sharing a recipe, participants share their cultures when they nominate a dish to the group. Cooking often goes global during these sessions, with past recipes originating from Mexico, Portugal, Jamaica, China, and more. Sometimes the group finds a recipe online to try something new, or a client brings in their own handwritten recipe passed down through generations in their family. Recreation therapist Kristen keeps each copy in a large folder that contains two years’ worth of recipes, which she hopes one day to create into a booklet for clients and others to enjoy.

Handwritten recipes from participants

Kristen prepares for the workshop with a trip to the grocery store and a $45 budget for the entire group, which can range anywhere from 10 to 16 participants. The goal is to replicate a typical food bank hamper with a few additional fresh products to round out the canned or dried goods. The final plated portion often costs well below $5 per serving. During the workshop, the client-lead delegates tasks to each attendee and the group works together to prepare the meal. Once it’s ready, they eat together and discuss all manner of topics.

Learning new skills and exploring new uses for simple ingredients while making sushi

A particular interest that persists throughout the sessions is learning how to host social gatherings. Our organization’s food philosophy believes that food can be a foundation for meaningful connections. In the cooking workshops, clients empower each other to overcome the obstacles in their lives – costs, skills, or otherwise– and use their newly learned skills to enjoy food with others. They may even imagine or roleplay how to organize gatherings like birthdays or holiday parties. With a bit of creativity, seemingly humble ingredients like canned tuna and cucumbers are transformed into sushi rolls or chicken and rice into paella.

Open discussion is a key component of the classes. As a hospital, many of our clients are experiencing multiple chronic health challenges that are impacted by their ability to access food. While clients learn more about nutrition, they also spend time unlearning and debunking misconceptions they may have—for example, that eating fresh produce “cancels out” eating processed foods. Kristen hopes that in the future the program can include collaboration from a dietitian to answer clients’ nutrition questions. Until then, outpatient nurses make guest appearances to share broader suggestions about healthy eating.

The group works together to provide social support too. Conversations about budgeting at the store can develop into larger discussions about the importance of budgeting for essentials – shelter, food, utilities, and clothing – before splurging on vices. Casting their differences aside, participants provide sympathy and advice to their peers who may encounter external triggers to maladaptive behaviour or have experienced trauma in their past. For many clients, this weekly meet-up adds security and comfort to their lives.

Just as a recipe has a medley of ingredients working together, the Comforts of Home workshop invites participants to shine with their own unique expertise. As more clients join the group, we look forward to seeing how future installments take the program to new heights.
