Having a disability is not always something we are born with.  It can happen to any of us at any stage in life.  Ability is how we connect and contribute to the world, it defines who we are and our quality of life.

We believe that everyone should have an active and engaged quality of life that enables meaningful connections and contributions to the world around them.

We support our consumers with progressive practices that integrate our programs and services, social research and innovation and enterprises. We are always growing our network of people, programs and services all designed to achieve:

• Good health and wellbeing for Albertans of all abilities.
• Adequate, safe and affordable housing for Albertans of all abilities.
• Inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for Albertans of all abilities.

We are inclusive. We celebrate multiple approaches and points of view. We believe diversity drives innovation. We are building a culture where differences are valued. A welcoming space where everyone will feel a sense of belonging and community that supports positive life outcomes. Inclusion matters. For everyone. Without an inclusive society, our differences divide us, rather than provide an opportunity to unite us with kindness and purposeful action.

We foster an innovative, collaborative environment that inspires engagement and creates opportunities to enhance ones wellbeing. We foster both a top-down and grassroots approach. This gives us the freedom to address the broadest set of initiatives, programs, services and spaces that address the unique and evolving needs of Albertans of all abilities.
