City Council meets next Tuesday and will debate and vote on a motion asking the Government of Alberta to pause implementation of these changes, engage in meaningful consultation with persons with disabilities, and publicly report on the social and economic impacts before moving forward. The motion reflects concerns raised in our community about:
• Lack of clear definitions around employability
• No appeal rights for ADAP placement
• Benefit amounts that may be changed by regulation

📅 February 24 at 12:30 PM – Lethbridge City Council will begin its meeting, and this motion regarding Bill 12 and ADAP will be heard near the beginning of the agenda.

This is an important moment for our community.

We are asking for strong community presence to show support for persons with disabilities and their families. Your attendance sends a powerful message that meaningful consultation, transparency, and fairness matter.

📍 Attend in person, share this post, and help us spread the word.
Let’s come together to stand alongside the disability community and ensure their voices are heard.

Together, our presence makes a difference. 💛
