Sensory: Experience Access. Build Connection. Create Belonging.
Connect Society is excited to announce we will be hosting our very first fundraising gala on Friday, April 4, 2025 called the Sensory Gala. The goal of this gala is to fundraise for Connect Society to allow us to continue providing the services that support and empower Deaf, Hard of Hearing and DeafBlind individuals and their families.
The Sensory Gala will showcase a multitude of sensory experiences including – The Deaf Forest (originally created by a group called Deaf Crows Collective 10 years ago), sensory food created by NAIT Centre For Culinary Innovation, sensory art pieces by local artists and more!
On Saturday, April 5, 2025 there will also be a day time event that is open to the public and will be promoting Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind and hearing booth venders.
At Connect Society, we know that true inclusion goes beyond access—it’s about creating a sense of belonging. But belonging isn’t possible without language, connection, and the support to thrive.
This year, Sensory Gala is more than just an event—it’s a movement. A movement to break barriers, build capacity, and create a future where Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind individuals don’t just navigate society but shape it.
