Alberta is one of the last provinces in Canada that DOES NOT have an Accessibility Act
Send a clear message to our provincial leaders: Alberta needs strong and effective accessibility legislation!
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.
The Problem
Alberta is one of the last provinces in Canada that DOES NOT have an Accessibility Act.
Accessibility legislation, in contrast to human rights legislation, require applicable organizations to comply with accessibility standards: these standards are designed by committees that include people with disabilities. When organizations improve accessibility, people with disabilities have greater opportunities to become involved in their communities, find meaningful employment, consume goods and services, use public transportation and be able to physically access public spaces and businesses.
The Solution
The Government of Alberta must pass Accessibility Legislation to make the province more accessible and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Barrier-Free AB (BFA) is leading efforts to make an Accessibility Act a reality.
