Our Mission
CHABAC’s primary objective is to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic among the African, Caribbean and Black (ACB)population in Canada.
Our Vision
Our History
In 2005, ICAD, the African and Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario (ACCHO) and Women’s Health in Women’s Hands (WHIWH) partnered in respond to the high rates of HIV infection among ACB communities in Canada and conducted an environmental scan, “Spring boarding a National HIV/AIDS Strategy for Black Canadian, African and Caribbean Communities Project “(2005).
This led to the production of “Taking Action on HIV and AIDS in Black Communities in Canada: A Resource for Moving Ahead” (2008). In March, 2010 a meeting was held in Montreal: Building a National HIV/AIDS Network for Black, African & Caribbean Canadians and CHABAC was formed.
