We are proud to announce Voices Without Barriers — Alberta’s first fully accessible indoor music festival. 🎶💜💛

Presented by Voice of Albertans with Disabilities, this inaugural festival is being built with accessibility at the centre, not treated as an afterthought.

Event Details
📅 Saturday, September 26, 2026
⏰ 12 PM – 8 PM
📍The Westin Edmonton, Downtown Edmonton

Voices Without Barriers will bring together artists, community members, families, advocates, and supporters to celebrate music, creativity, inclusion, and connection.

This festival will prioritize:

Artists with disabilities
Indigenous artists with disabilities
Paid performance opportunities
Inclusive and barrier-free participation
Accessibility supports for both performers and audiences

This is more than a music festival.

It is about creating a space where people with disabilities are not just included, but centred. It is about showing what live events can look like when accessibility is built in from the beginning.

Tickets go on sale June 15.

More details coming soon.

Please share this post and help us spread the word across Alberta. 🎸

UPDATE: There have been a few more 'town halls' added by the Alberta government. We encourage all individuals with intellectual disabilities who will be affected by these changes and their families and allies to join one or more of these events and raise your concerns. It is vitally important that your voices are heard by government on this issue, and this is an opportunity for you to do so.

*Raise your voice about the new ADAP program. Join town hall events on Sept. 4, 5 and 8*

The Alberta Government recently released their plan to make changes to the AISH program and create a new program called the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP). This plan proposes that all current AISH recipients be moved to the new ADAP effective July 1, 2026, with a benefit that will be $200 per month lower. This change will result in many Albertans currently on AISH being in a more desperate situation than they already are, even further below Canada’s poverty line.

Learn what we know so far about the changes to AISH and the new ADAP program on our website here: https://inclusionalberta.org/understanding-proposed-changes-to-aish-the-new-adap-and-how-to-respond-to-the-adap-survey/

*Raise your voice at a Government of Alberta telephone town hall event: September 4 and 5*

*Raise your voice at The Premier’s Council’s town hall event September 8*
The Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities is holding a virtual town hall event on Monday, September 8 at 5pm where you can share your thoughts on the new ADAP program.

According to the Premier’s Council: “The Premier’s Council will be providing advice regarding the ADAP and wants to ensure that this advice accurately reflects what people with disabilities, service providers, and employers want to say.”
