Unfortunately, Disability Action Hall, along with other spaces, has now been closed as a result of recent decisions by the UCP government.

For many people with disabilities, these spaces were more than just groups. They were places to connect, share information, support one another, and organize around the issues that affect our lives.

While nothing can truly replace what those communities meant to people, the People's Alliance for Disabled Albertans (PADA) wants to make sure that individuals with disabilities still have a place to land during this uncertain time.

PADA exists to support, connect, and amplify the voices of disabled Albertans. If you’re looking for a supportive community and a place to stay informed and engaged, we welcome you to join our family.

If you know someone who may benefit from being part of a supportive disability community in Alberta, please feel free to share this post.

Hello friends! We'd like to invite you to an important free event in St Albert on February 17th at 7 pm.

There will be a discussion about becoming a better ally for the disabled community and to LGBTQ Albertans. You can be assured that AISH and ADAP will be a topic.

We hope to see you there!

📢 Call for Participation: ADAP Research Study

PADA has been asked to help share an important research study led by researchers at the University of Calgary examining income supports and employment for persons with disabilities in Alberta.

With the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) set to launch in July 2026, this study is working to establish a pre-launch baseline and track real-world impacts over time. This kind of evidence matters — especially when policies are changing fast and disabled people are too often left out of the evaluation process.

Good summary of Bill 12

Bill 12 introduces major changes to AISH and creates the new ADAP program. This plain-language breakdown explains how Bill 12 affects disability benefits, appeal rights, and the everyday lives of disabled Albertans — and what these changes mean going forward.

The Government of Alberta’s creation of the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) will cut monthly supports by $200, plunging thousands further into poverty and undoing decades of progress supporting Albertans with disabilities. 19 former leaders and advisors to government disability programs have written an open letter calling for the cancellation of this program. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/8dcf66419cc7314a924853990a717a62d14c6f22?hash=e3ab6d9283260521a5acb4a1180f043c

Dear Premier and Members of the Legislative Assembly, We write with urgent concern. As former leaders in Alberta’s disability programs or members of the Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities, we know these systems well. The proposed Alberta Disability Assistance Program (A...
