We are deeply saddened to share that our colleague, mentor, and dear friend Cal Schuler has passed away in Calgary.

Cal was an integral part of our Agency and the CAES team. His lived experience and passion for inclusion helped strengthen workplace accessibility and supported many individuals with disabilities in pursuing meaningful employment.

Beyond his work with CAES, Cal was a powerful voice for disability rights in Alberta. He served on the Board of Spinal Cord Injury Alberta, where he was recognized as an active leader at both local and provincial levels. He also founded Spectra Alternative Solutions, delivering disability awareness training and advocating for barrier-free community participation.

In 2022, Cal received the City of Calgary Advisory Committee on Accessibility – Advocacy Award, celebrating his long-standing commitment to improving accessibility in our city.

Cal’s advocacy extended to public speaking, writing, and collaborating to improve policy. He shared personal reflections on disability and inclusion and presented at events such as the deamWORX Conference, speaking on Bill C-81 and the future of accessible workplaces.
The Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities recognized him as “a man of vision, commitment and connection,” acknowledging his decades of work.

Cal will be remembered for his warmth, humour, and unwavering dedication to creating a more inclusive world. His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched and the positive change he championed.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him.
Memorial details will be shared when available.
