Alberta peeps! If we don’t act now, we’re going to see AISH dismantled and replaced with a two-tier system. Take 2 minutes to send an email to your MLA asking them to vote against the changes to AISH in Bill 12. win.newmode.net/barrierfreea… win.newmode.net/barrierfreea…

It was never okay to overlook the rights of Canadians with Down syndrome. Unfair barriers, inadequate funding, and exclusionary practices limit access to education, healthcare, employment, housing, and recreation. Now, government decisions threaten to undo the progress our community has worked tirelessly to achieve. In 2025, we refuse to go backward. We are asking all Canadians to join our call to #ImproveOurSupports this World Down Syndrome Day and sign our petition demanding the government prioritize the rights of Canadians with Down syndrome. It’s time for action, not excuses. Show your support and sign your name! cdss.ca/world-down-syndrome-… #ItWasNeverOkay #WorldDownSyndromeDay
It Was Never Okay: forward not backward logo appears to the left. The photo by Hilary Gauld is of a child with Down syndrome sitting alone in a classroom. He has a serious, deflated expression and wears a blue and red striped sweater. The graphic reads "SIGN THE PETITION" and lists a link: CDSS.ca/World-Down-Syndrome-Day

Disabed Albertans deserve better

HART CHAPELLE -  Is this really the kind of government we want in Alberta; a government that callously silences the voices of intellectually disabled
