To commemorate the day, Peterborough AIDS Resource Network (PARN) placed red scarves around the city and invites anyone that is cold to take one.
Thank you to everyone who crafted and donated scarves to PARN for our Red Scarf Project. The scarves have been placed in the community today for World AIDS Day. If you are cold, take a scarf today! pic.twitter.com/1Ihl4kCyok
