Territory-Wide “All Things ADA Expo” Scheduled for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities

The events will take place on July 9th in St. Thomas and St. John, and on July 16th in St. Croix

The Governor’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Office, in collaboration with the USVI Disability Network Partners and numerous public and private agencies, is hosting the “All Things ADA Expo” for seniors and individuals with disabilities across the territory.

The first expo event will take place on Tuesday, July 9th, at the Elridge W. Blake Sports & Fitness Center on the University of the Virgin Islands' Orville E. Kean campus, serving the St. Thomas and St. John communities. The second event will be held on Tuesday, July 16th, at the gymnasium of the St. Croix Educational Complex High School campus. Each event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with sign-in and limited registration starting at 9:30 a.m.

The expo, which has expanded annually since its inception in 2020, aims to highlight local health and disaster preparedness efforts by partnering agencies. These agencies will provide critical information for the upcoming disaster-prone months, including the contents of “go bags,” registration for free services such as VI Alerts, WAPA alerts, and VITRAN paratransit services.
