BURLINGTON, ON

The Great Disconnect is a documentary that features Canadian voices, asking the questions:

“Can we be individualistic and communal?”

“Is it possible to overcome our modern culture of disconnectedness and rediscover how truly essential we are to one other?”

The film explores themes around how isolation and conversely connection are critical health issues.

Join Community Development Halton (CDH) as we celebrate 41 years of connecting community as we offer a screening of The Great Disconnect, followed by a panel featuring local research, solutions and shared stories from CDH members about how we bridge disconnection to belonging in Halton. The panel guests include:

·         Elizabeth Wells from Our Kids Network

·         Steven Barrow from CDH

·         Hanadi Al-Masri from HMC Connections

·         Michelle Sparling from Just be You
