💡 Why Connected Canadians?

Your attendance signifies more than a night to remember; it adds your voice as a supporter of digital well-being, social inclusion, and perpetual growth within our community.

It’s opened up the world essentially. It’s enabled me to connect with a family member that I had not seen with my eyes for 5 years, that is a significant connection … I have profound gratitude to the founders and all of the people involved with Connected Canadians.

~ Ely Bronstein (Connected Canadians Client)

I consider myself very lucky to join Connected Canadians… [It] changed the “sad picture” that got stuck to my mind about getting a job in Canada. I can not thank this organization enough. It brought me back my confidence and empowered me to work harder and harder.
