On February 24, The City of Lethbridge Mayor and Council unanimously passed a motion calling on the Government of Alberta to pause ADAP, provide evidence of economic and social impacts to individuals and communities because of the proposed reduction in income, and meaningfully consult with the people affected and stakeholder groups. We are pleased that the City of Lethbridge has taken action on this, and is a role model for other municipalities. Please consider sending a message to councillors commending them for taking this action. If you would like more information on this reach out to us at (403) 327-2911.
You’re Invited!

Why Your Support Matters
Your generosity fuels Inclusion Lethbridge’s work across Southern Alberta — from advocacy and self‑advocacy programs, to family support, to partnerships
with schools, employers, and community organizations.
You’re not just making a donation. You’re standing with people. You’re strengthening families.
You’re helping build a community where everyone belongs.
Inclusive Employment
Meaningful employment gives people purpose, dignity, and independence. Yet many individuals with disabilities still face barriers, bias, and systemic exclusion.
Meet William
William is proud of the work he does and the contributions he makes every day. With the right supports, he found a workplace that sees his value — and a job that lets him grow.
Your donation helps champion inclusive employers, job-seekers, and supports that lead to stable, meaningful, community-based employment.
Inclusive Education
Every student deserves the chance to learn in the classroom alongside their peers, be part of school life, and dream big.
Meet Maggie
Maggie attended the University of Lethbridge — not because inclusion was handed to her, but because she fought for it, and because her community believed in her right to pursue higher education.
Your donation helps students like Maggie know there are opportunities for them to learn in environments where they are welcomed and valued at every educational level.
Inclusive Sports & Recreation
Everyone deserves connection, friendships, and moments of joy. Inclusive sports and recreation open these doors, creating opportunities for physical activity, laughter, and belonging.
Meet Kaleb
When Kaleb joined his inclusive sports program, he didn’t just join a team — he found confidence, community, and a place where his abilities shine.
Your donation helps create accessible programs so youth and adults with disabilities can participate fully — on the field, in the studio, and everywhere fun and friendship happen.
