Eric Peters

Eric is responsible for turning research into resources for front-line agencies and for the community. He was a core part of the team that brought together queer Black men across the province for open discussion on sex and sexual health, which led to the creation of the Black Gay Men’s Network of Ontario. Before joining the GMSH team, he worked at the African and Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario. And beyond the team, he contributes to the work of the HALCO and OHTN boards of directors and is part of the PRIMP research committee at St. Michael’s Hospital. Always with an eye towards equity and social justice, Eric is keen to see everyone in our community get the services and information that they need. You can often spot him wearing one of his own streetwear creations, or at Hanlan’s Point in his fire-engine red speedo.
