Disability Services Across Alberta

Good day everybody,

I hope everybody had a good summer. I am writing a blog on the province of Alberta and all the services that they provide to people who have disabilities. I live in Calgary, but when I was growing up, I lived in a little town called Airdrie 15 minutes away from Calgary. They didn’t have any programs for me when I was growing up. When I was 18, I moved out to get more opportunities in my life. That’s why I wanted to research the cities around Alberta to see what they’re offering. Note that this is not an exhaustive list.

Airdrie: Airdrie is outside of Calgary and it is a city now. They don’t have anything there for people who have disabilities.

Olds: Olds has some programs for people with disabilities. They are…

Accredited Supports to the Community (ASC)

Padnoma Support Services

Red Deer: Red Deer has some programs and they are…

Grande Prairie: Grande Prairie has some programs for people who have disabilities. They have a lot of community service organizations and employment.

Next Step

There are also a lot of little cities and little towns all over Alberta, and I will be researching them in the near future, and make comparisons for what’s out there for people who have a disability. The next city I will research is Lethbridge.
