Celebrating Friends of the Disability Action Hall, sharing our gratitude!

On Thursday, March 20th, 2025, "Friends of the Disability Action Hall" met to help us plan our next steps since we received an unexpected email on January 7th telling us our contract ends 15 months early. 

We called upon the community to help us reimagine a better Alberta. We wanted to thank our friends and previous government leaders who support the effectiveness by investing in self-advocacy to help advise good policy changes that save lives and create a better Alberta for all. 

For the future, we want to help create a better plan. In October 2024, Municipal Affairs Minister MLA Rick McIver said, "There is plenty of work to be done." Beyond the built environment, more needs to be done to enhance accessibility for Alberta.

Light the Way, Alberta 

Since we lost our provincial funding on January 7th, 2025 (15 months too early on our contract), at least 830 Albertans have sent letters to the Province requesting that the contracts be honoured. 

We hope you will continue to help us 'Light the Way for Self-advocacy," a campaign to raise awareness and voice the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities from lived experience to help inform policy changes. We aim to connect with 4,500 Albertans to donate $25 or more to help us move forward and continue our efforts.

We are deeply grateful to all who have donated and spread the word. Your support is invaluable, and we couldn't have done this without you. #LightTheWayAB
