Last month, we had the opportunity to host Artist Stacey Walyuchow and her talented videographer for a tour of Inclusio, where she explored the importance of accessibility and inclusion.

We are thrilled to announce that Stacey will be creating a one-of-a-kind art piece inspired by our work at Accessible Housing! 🎨✨ This stunning piece will be up for auction at our Dinner for Doors Charity Event, with all proceeds going towards supporting our mission.

September 30th marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 🧡

Today, Accessible Housing had the privilege of welcoming Elder Russell Burns, who led us in a meaningful smudge ceremony and circle. As a residential school survivor, Elder Burns shared his story and the lasting impact it had on his life. Thank you, Mosum, for your wisdom and for being with us on this important day.

We pause to reflect on the painful truths of our shared history and renew our commitment to the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

We remember the children who never made it home, the survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities affected by these tragic events.

🧡 Every Child Matters. 🧡

🏡 Looking to make your home or business accessi

🏡 Looking to make your home or business accessible? 🏢

In this week's #TipTuesday by RAD Renovations, we're diving into the importance of adding handrails for safety and accessibility!

Did you know many homes built before the late 80s often lack exterior handrails on main entry steps and landings? For seniors who are still mobile, this can be a significant falling hazard.

👉 To enhance safety, ensure your entry stairs have handrails extending from the bottom walkway to the top, and ideally, all the way to the door. Remember, many people have a stronger or weaker side, so it's crucial to have handrails on both sides for support in both directions.

🔨 Building codes allow handrails to be installed between 34”-42” in height, but we find that 36”-38” is a comfortable height for most people.

Need advice on making your space more accessible? Contact our RAD team for a personalized assessment!

Another memorable 3-night stay at William Watson L

Another memorable 3-night stay at William Watson Lodge in Kananaskis! 🏕️

Inclusio residents explored different trails, enjoyed a captivating nature show, and spent quality time playing card games and gathering around a cozy bonfire. Daily walks to the lake were filled with fresh air, scenic views, and relaxation, and were thrilled to spot numerous birds, chipmunks, gophers, and even a moose passing by our cabin! ✨

We capped off our trip with a farewell steak dinner and we raised a toast to the wonderful time we had together. Residents and staff had an absolute blast! 😊

Since January, Bridge to Home has been busy, even as we’ve adjusted our program capacity. In April, we shifted from 77 to 60 participants. As a graduated focused program, we had folks that were on the trajectory of graduation.🌟

Since May 2024, we’ve welcomed 4 new members to our program, and we’ve already housed 2 of them in accessible apartments in under a month. 🏠 Currently, 2 more participants are awaiting housing that meets their unique accessibility needs.

New Intakes since January: 4
People moved into housing: 10
Graduations: 8

We're excited to keep building on this success and continue supporting our community! To learn more about the Bridge to Home Program or any of Accessible Housing's Programs visit our website: accessiblehousing.ca

✨ Transformation Tuesday! 🚿
We are pleased to share the completion of another accessible renovation project by RAD Renovations. We had the pleasure of transforming a client’s ensuite bathroom by replacing an underutilized soaker tub with a spacious, barrier-free shower. We also installed new flooring that complements the overall design and a comfort-height toilet for improved functionality and comfort.

If you’re considering a home modification or need advice on how to make your home more accessible contact our RAD team.

🌲🌟 Inclusio residents had an amazing time at William Watson Lodge, soaking in the beauty of nature and taking a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle!

Every day was an adventure as we strolled through new trails in Kananaskis, enjoyed captivating interpretative shows at night, and admired the stunning views of Lower Kananaskis Lake. We even had a special encounter with a mama bear and her three adorable cubs! 🐻✨

Back at the lodge, we played card games and enjoyed each other’s company. And let’s not forget the delicious breakfast treats—French toast and Dutch babies—lovingly prepared by one of our residents! 😊

Did you know around eight million Canadians report

Did you know around eight million Canadians reported having at least one disability? This is double the percentage from 10 years ago.

July may be nearing an end; however, our celebration of Disability Pride continues. Let's continue to embrace differences, advocate for accessibility, and recognize the incredible value that diverse abilities bring to our communities. Together, we can raise awareness, challenge stereotypes, and drive positive change.

At Accessible Housing, our mission is to 'open doors for people to live in the community with dignity through supportive living services.' We are committed to empowering individuals with disabilities to reach their full potential.
