In response to the COVID-19 pandemic ConnecTra created ConnecTogether a series of online programs and workshops covering a range of topics including fitness mental well-being personal growth and more. Even as the impacts of COVID-19 lessened ConnecTogether became part of Connectra's regular program offerings. Introduced in late 2020 Accessible Community forums continued throughout 2024 offering a way for ConnecTra clients to connect with their community through discussions about topics relevant to people with disabilities. Topics have included: Arts and Culture in BC and The Representation of People with Disabilities in the Media. Each year ConnecTra presents its annual Abilities Expo a trade show style of event. Since 2010 ConnecTra’s Abilities Expo has provided an opportunity for people with disabilities their families caregivers seniors and healthcare professionals to learn about local resources and connect with others in the community. The event brings together like-minded organizations and resources that can help inform and enrich health and well-being.
New programs
In 2024 ConnecTra began developing 604Access. ConnecTra hears firsthand from our community about the need for a centralized and reliable resource that helps people with disabilities find accessible businesses and services in Vancouver. The goal of 604Access is to enhance community participation for people with disabilities while supporting businesses in making their spaces more inclusive. Once complete the 604Access Portal will offer a comprehensive database of accessible venues making it easier for individuals and families to explore and enjoy all that our city has to offer.
