On May 5, 2026 we gather to remember our missing and murdered women and girls through the Red Dress Day Initiative. Red Dress Day, held annually on May 5th, began in 2010 based on Métis artist Jaime Black's REDress Project, which used empty red dresses to symbolize and raise awareness for the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+) in Canada. We encourage you to reach out to local organizations making a difference... Lethbridge Sisters in Spirit Southern Alberta Ethnic Association

UPDATE: There have been a few more 'town halls' added by the Alberta government. We encourage all individuals with intellectual disabilities who will be affected by these changes and their families and allies to join one or more of these events and raise your concerns. It is vitally important that your voices are heard by government on this issue, and this is an opportunity for you to do so.

*Raise your voice about the new ADAP program. Join town hall events on Sept. 4, 5 and 8*

The Alberta Government recently released their plan to make changes to the AISH program and create a new program called the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP). This plan proposes that all current AISH recipients be moved to the new ADAP effective July 1, 2026, with a benefit that will be $200 per month lower. This change will result in many Albertans currently on AISH being in a more desperate situation than they already are, even further below Canada’s poverty line.

Learn what we know so far about the changes to AISH and the new ADAP program on our website here: https://inclusionalberta.org/understanding-proposed-changes-to-aish-the-new-adap-and-how-to-respond-to-the-adap-survey/

*Raise your voice at The Premier’s Council’s town hall event September 8*
The Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities is holding a virtual town hall event on Monday, September 8 at 5pm where you can share your thoughts on the new ADAP program.

According to the Premier’s Council: “The Premier’s Council will be providing advice regarding the ADAP and wants to ensure that this advice accurately reflects what people with disabilities, service providers, and employers want to say.”
