SUMMARY:From Swipe to Script: Mine your dating disasters for literary manna (women-only)
DESCRIPTION:If you’re exhausted by endless text threads\, unavailable people\, ghosts (why is that even a related word?!)\, and the sheer absurdity of modern “dating”\, it is time to take your power back! \nYou don’t need another dating app—you need a room full of shrewd women\, a notebook\, and a place to laugh your silly head off. \nJoin us at this interactive\, two-hour Intro for a short meditation\, playful improv activity\, curated writing prompt\, writing time and optional share. \nUsing your chosen literary genre and the playful spontaneity of improv\, we will transform bad dates\, heartbreak\, and romantic boundary-crossing into powerful creative expression. We will laugh at mansplainers\, give makeovers to bad dates and rewrite horrific breakup texts! The stage and page will be our oysters as we embrace our wild (and perhaps jaded) selves! \nNo experience necessary. \nLed by professional dater — er poet\, dating-playwright (A Coveted Wife of East Van\, Vancouver Fringe)\, journalist and 30-year writing-workshop-facilitation veteran Marn Norwich\, this intimate\, transformative 4-week circle is a darkly funny\, deeply cathartic space to process romantic letdowns and reclaim your worth. \nLearn how to hurdle blocks\, tap into your resilience\, and rewrite your personal narrative with complete creative authority! \nThis is a free intro to the women’s trauma-informed\, four-week masterclass running Tuesdays\, October 22 – November 10\, 2026\, 6:30 – 8:30 pm ($400 + GST).

SUMMARY:Accessible Community Forum: Digital Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Are technology and digital services easily accessible? Join us on Zoom on July 21\, 2023\, from 1:00 – 3:00 PM PT for our next Accessible Community Forum on Digital Accessibility to discover our community’s thoughts. \nHave your opinion on the topic heard by taking our survey now: https://forms.office.com/r/LBdKVKP0HR \nDigital accessibility refers to deliberately designing and offering digital services for all users\, specifically users with disabilities. As the world rapidly becomes more digital\, a significant gap is growing between current technology and its accessibility to people with disabilities. \nRegister now\, and on July 21st join on Zoom: https://bit.ly/3MNcsjW \nAccessibility features often are added to new technology after its development\, causing an endless race to catch up with the latest and greatest. \nPresented by the  Disability Foundation and hosted by the ConnecTra Society\, this next Accessible Community Forum aims to cultivate a conversation between various organizations and our community of people with disabilities. \nDigital accessibility is a frequent topic of discussion in our outreach\, previous Accessible Community Forums\, and affiliated societies’ regular programming. Through our survey and forum\, we will build on our current knowledge and broaden our collective understanding of your needs and how best to accommodate them. \nYour feedback is essential to driving change in the accessibility of digital services. We encourage all our community members to come and voice their experiences and opinions. A final report with the forum’s findings will be sent to the panellists\, related nonprofit\norganizations\, grantors who may fund these needs\, and government representatives. \nHelp us explore possible solutions and resources to bridge the gap between the accessible technology and digital services you currently experience and what they could become. The forum is an open\, honest\, and inclusive dialogue between a panel of organizational representatives and our beautiful province’s diverse disability community. \nThe panelists for the coming Accessible Community Forum include:\n– Kim Donaldson and Shane Kehoe from Fable\, an inclusive tech company working directly with adaptive tech and people with disabilities.\n– Ean Price from Technology for Living\, a nonprofit organization providing people with disabilities innovative equipment to increase their independence and wellbeing.\n– Nate Toevs from Neil Squire\, a non-profit organization that is revolutionizing Canadians’ with disabilities’ lives through accessible technology.\n– Jenn McLean and Katrina Summers from the Government of BC’s Web Governance and Digital Accessibility Team. \nStart the conversation by taking the Digital Accessibility Survey by Sunday\, July 16\, at 11:59 PM PT. \nYou are the expert of your experience. Be heard. \nIf you require assistance taking the survey\, registering or attending this event\, please email us at info@connectra.org. Closed captioning will be available.\nCheck out our previous Accessible Community Forums at disabilityfoundation.org/acf\n—\nAbout the Disability Foundation:  Established in 1985 and based in Vancouver\, B.C.\, the Disability Foundation strives to support people with physical disabilities by supporting accessible programs to enjoy outdoor activities\, make social connections\, and access personalized adapted devices.
