St. Albert MLA and NDP community and social services critic says the province is slipping behind the Canadian government and all provinces but Prince Edward Island.
The Alberta government needs to get with the times and make the province more accessible for more citizens, says an NDP shadow cabinet minister who plans to introduce a bill this session addressing the issue.
St. Albert MLA Marie Renaud, the community and social services critic, said the province is slipping behind the Canadian government and all provinces but Prince Edward Island. All have passed or introduced accessibility legislation.
Her comments follow the province announcing changes last month to Alberta’s accessibility design guide under the webpage headline Building a more accessible and inclusive Alberta.
Jason Nixon, minister of seniors, community and social services, said in the announcement: “Our government is dedicated to reducing barriers for people living with disabilities and making Alberta a more inclusive place to live, work and play.
