MORE THAN YOU THINK.

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD THINK MORE ABOUT.

This new awareness campaign starts today.

Last year, we raised awareness about the urgent lack of accessible housing in Alberta. We spoke about the real and devastating consequences that happen when people cannot find housing that meets their needs.

This year, we are continuing the conversation, but going deeper.

More Than You Think. Something You Should Think More About is about challenging assumptions. It’s about reframing how we understand disability, housing, and accessibility in our city.

Because disability isn’t rare.
Accessible housing isn’t extra.
And accessibility isn’t just for “someone else.”

Disability touches more lives than many people realize, through aging, injury, illness, caregiving, parenting, and life’s unpredictability. Yet accessible housing is still treated as specialized, optional, or secondary in planning and design conversations.

For the next few months, we’re inviting our community to think differently.

We’ll be sharing real stories from the people who live in our housing and the people who do this work every day. We’ll be debunking common myths about disability and accessible design. We’ll be opening up conversations about why accessibility must be considered from the very beginning, not added later, and not only when a crisis occurs.

Because when accessibility is built in from the start, it benefits everyone.

When housing is safe and appropriate, people can thrive.
When design includes more people, communities are stronger.
When we rethink who accessibility is for, we begin to see that it’s for all of us.

Accessibility is more than you think.
And it’s something we should all think more about
