Founded in 1987, The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) aims to end Canada's HIV epidemic by leading national strategies to increase prevention, testing, treatment and access to care — while simultaneously ending HIV stigma.
CANFAR is thrilled to announce table and ticket sales for the 25th Anniversary of Bloor Street Entertains is officially open! This 25-year milestone celebrates the incredible support from the CANFAR family, aiding the fight to stop the HIV epidemic in Canada. This past quarter-century has been marked by tremendous progress in educating the nation about HIV/AIDS, providing linkages to care, and funding research initiatives which have led to remarkable advancements in the scientific & medical fields.
Since 2016, Yorkville Village has been a proud venue partner of Bloor Street Entertains and we look forward to supporting the event once again on November 25th, 2021.
Here is a look back at past dinners that were hosted at Yorkville Village.

Decreased access to healthcare services coupled with the stigma involved with getting tested are overwhelming factors contributing to lack of HIV testing.CANFAR’s next step is to get these confidential, easy-to-use HIV self-testing kits into the hands of at-risk Canadians — knowing your status (and by extension, receiving proper treatment) is the most effective way to stop the spread of HIV.This epidemic can be eliminated in Canada by 2025, but in order to achieve that goal, HIV self-testing kits must get into the hands of those who need them most.To stay in the know, follow CANFAR on Instagram or sign up for their newsletter!
