A Heartfelt Thank You
To all our website visitors,
We want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the Let Us Speak Media Release on January 15th. Your presence and support mean so much to us. SAIPA is incredibly grateful to have members and a community who truly understand the importance of advocacy and the essential services we provide to Southern Alberta.
Please know that we are doing everything we can to continue offering SAIPA’s programs and services to our members and communities throughout Southern Alberta. We will keep you informed of our progress as we navigate these challenging times.
A special thank you to the media for giving us the platform to share our voices. It is through opportunities like this that we can shine a light on the critical work we do.
We also welcome your comments and reflections on what advocacy means to you. Your input inspires and guides us as we work together to build a stronger, more inclusive community.
For several years, we have been incredibly fortunate to receive support from the Government of Alberta. Their contributions have allowed us to touch countless lives, and we remain hopeful that we can find a way to continue these vital services.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can make a difference.
Warm regards,
The SAIPA Team"
YOUR VOICE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We need your help to stand up for the disability community in our province. Vital disability advocacy support organizations are facing devastating funding cuts, threatening the essential services and resources that thousands rely on every day. These organizations are the backbone of inclusion, accessibility, and empowerment for individuals with disabilities—and we cannot let their voices go unheard.
Join us in signing a digital letter to Premier Danielle Smith, Jason Nixon (MLA, Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre, UC), Marie Renaud (MLA, St. Albert, NDP), and Rob Miyashiro (MLA, Lethbridge-West, NDP). This letter highlights the critical role these organizations play and urges immediate action to reverse these harmful cuts.
Your signature can make a real difference in ensuring that every Albertan has access to the advocacy and support they need. Share this, email, and copy the link to get this moving, and our voices heard! Let’s show our leaders that the disability community deserves respect, dignity, and full support. Together, we can amplify the call for change!
Sign the letter today—every voice matters.
Next, Share this, email to everyone you know, and copy the link to get this moving, and our voices heard!
