Today, we recognize World Autism Awareness Day—a time to celebrate the strengths, perspectives, and contributions of autistic individuals in our community.

At Inclusion Lethbridge, we believe awareness is only the beginning. True inclusion means creating spaces where everyone belongs, every day. It means listening, learning, and removing barriers so that people of all abilities can fully participate and thrive.

Autism acceptance isn’t something we practice for just one day—it’s a commitment we carry forward in our actions, our communities, and our shared future. Together, we can build a more inclusive Lethbridge where diversity is not only recognized, but valued and celebrated every single day. 💙

Have Your Voice Heard: Help Shape Inclusive Sexual Health Resources

Inclusion Lethbridge is pleased to share an opportunity for families in our community to participate in an important research project led by the University of Calgary.

This project is focused on co-developing accessible, inclusive, and meaningful sexual health education resources for Autistic children and youth—grounded in the real experiences of families and caregivers.

We know that conversations about bodies, relationships, and sexuality can be complex, and too often families are left without the right tools or supports. This project aims to change that—with your help.

Who can participate:

Parents, guardians, or family members (18+)
Living in Alberta
Supporting an Autistic child or youth
Open to discussing topics related to bodies, relationships, and sexuality

What’s involved:

Participate in either a one-on-one interview or a small virtual focus group (your choice)
Two virtual sessions (via Zoom):
One to share your experiences and needs
One to provide feedback on a draft resource
Receive a $50 honorarium per session

Sessions are designed to be accessible, supportive, and respectful of participant comfort.

This study has received ethics approval through the Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board (CHREB) at the University of Calgary.

Interested or want to learn more?
Contact the research team at:
📧 disability.sexuality.lab@gmail.com
📧 Dr. Alan Martino: alan.martino@ucalgary.ca

We encourage our members and community partners to consider participating or sharing this opportunity. Your input can help create better, more inclusive resources for families across Alberta.

Take Action: Support Accessibility Legislation in Alberta

Albertans with disabilities continue to face barriers in everyday life — from accessing services and employment to navigating public spaces and communication. Right now, there is an important opportunity to change that.

Barrier-Free Alberta has launched a simple email campaign to help you contact your MLA and show your support for Bill 206 — the Accessible Alberta Act.

This proposed legislation would be a major step toward creating a province where accessibility, inclusion, and dignity are built into how we live, work, and connect with one another.

Why this matters

Accessibility legislation would:

Help remove barriers across communities

Improve access to employment, education, and services

Support independence and full participation for people with disabilities

Create a more inclusive Alberta for everyone

Take Action Today

Barrier-Free Alberta has made it quick and easy to get involved. With just a few clicks, you can send a message to your MLA and help push for meaningful change.

Our Message

We believe Alberta deserves accessibility legislation. This is a critical opportunity to build a province that values inclusion, equity, and dignity for every resident.

We encourage our community members, families, and allies to take a moment to add your voice.

 For decades the disability community has been calling for accessibility legislation, but Alberta has remained one of only two provinces without this critical framework that would identify, prevent, and remove barriers. On March 12, 2026, Marie Renaud, MLA for St. Alberta tabled Bill 206 - Accessi...
