Collaboration
“Alone we can do so little;
together we can do so much.”
- Helen Keller
The AdaptEXPO and the Ottawa Inclusive & Para Sports Expo are proud to be working in collaboration for our communities. Most of our clients (those with disabilities, older adults/seniors, & individuals with injuries or chronic illness) often have to work extra hard to find the resources, supports and community connection that help us all thrive!
Hosting these two expos on a single day creates a unique opportunity to unite everyone: helping busy, purpose-driven organizations to participate, while ensuring our incredible community members have better access to connect and explore everything these events have to offer.
