Alberta is one of the last provinces in Canada that DOES NOT have an Accessibility Act
The Government of Alberta must pass accessibility legislation to make our province more accessible and improve quality of life for people with disabilities.
Other provinces across Canada have shown that implementing accessibility legislation is essential to ensure all citizens, regardless of ability, can fully participate in every facet of life.
The time to act is now. We hope the government will take meaningful steps to ensure Alberta’s commitment to accessibility is reflected in enforceable legislation.
We need your help. Barrier-Free Alberta is amping up the pressure for the Government of Alberta to take immediate action to implement strong and effective accessibility legislation.
Please join us in letting Alberta MLAs know that people with disabilities are tired of waiting for a Provincial Accessibility Act. It will only take a minute to add your voice. Simply click on the link, fill in your details and the letter will automatically be sent to your own MLA, as well as to Premier Smith, Minister Nixon, Minister McIver and Marie Renaud.
It is vital that our elected representatives hear from their constituents so join the Barrier-Free Alberta movement and let them know that this matters to Albertans!
