Grant Hardy attended the Abilities Expo in Burnaby, BC on June 9th, 2025.
Today, we’re sharing a compilation of interviews that were recorded right on the conference floor of the Abilities Expo!
First up, we’re going to find out more about the Abilities Expo with the Connectra Program Coordinator, Emily Chambers.
Then, Kara Stanley and Simon Paradis collaborated to write the book The Pain Project: A Couple’s Story of Confronting Chronic Pain. They joined Grant at the conference to talk about their presentation called “I’ve Been Better, I’ve Been Worse”, and how they’ve utilized music to navigate talking about traumatic injuries and chronic pain.
Accessible Services at the Vancouver Public Library provide access to the library for people with mobility challenges and print disabilities. Jennifer Streckmann, the Coordinator of Accessible Services, joined Grant to share why the Library wanted to be present at the Abilities Expo.
Kids Brain Health Network Investigator Dr. Stephanie Glegg joined Grant at the Abilities Expo to share some of the projects that KBHN is funding and working on. Plus, learn about the importance of physical activity from Dr. Glegg.
Next Thursday, July 3rd, 2025, we’ll share more of our interviews from the Abilities Expo 2025!
