ALT A gray outline of Canada with Alberta Blacked out, there are green check marks on all the provinces except Alberta and Prince Edward Island, which have red exes on them. Across the territories is a yellow speech bubble that reads Barrier-Free Ab in 2023! On the right next to the map black text reads only 2 provinces left… Will Alberta be the last province to create accessibility legislation? There are three sections with corresponding icons below that. The leftmost reads one quarter of Albertans live with disabilities, which is roughly the population of Edmonton, the icon is an outline of four people on a circle. The middle reads Albertans with disabilities are more likely to live in isolation, this has only increased during the pandemic, with an icon of an outlined person in an ovular bubble. The rightmost reads 644,640 people with disabilities who don’t work but could in an inclusive labour market, with an icon of two people wearing ties knocking on a brick wall.

ALT Black background with the Barrier-free Alberta logo in the top center and the statement reads in white and yellow: Human rights have been highlighted throughout the pandemic and on this U.N. day for human rights, we at Barrier-free AB thought we’d take a look at human rights through a disability lens. A human right is defined as a right believed to belong justifiably to every person in the world, from birth until death. This includes every person with a disability who has the same right to housing, education, and employment, just like anyone without a disability. To protect and ensure these human rights for everyone in Alberta, including people with disabilities, we think it’s time for Alberta to create barrier-free legislation and bring it into law. This Human Rights Day, join us in asking for a #BarrierFreeAB by signing on as a supporter at www.barrierfreeab.ca/support
