SUMMARY:From Crisis to Collective Action: Ordinary People Acting with Relentless Hope
DESCRIPTION:Families and individuals with intellectual disabilities face growing barriers—longer waits for FSCD and PDD\, increasing system bureaucracy and complexity\, threats to inclusive education\, and changes to AISH that reduce support for one group and apply a degrading label to the rest. These challenges echo past struggles\, when families refused to accept exclusion and fought for the rights we now cherish. They fought for inclusive classrooms and community-based supports by seeing what was possible and refusing to settle for anything less.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nNow\, history calls us again. How will we respond? Join us to hear powerful stories from&nbsp\;family&nbsp\;advocates&nbsp\;and allies&nbsp\;who are meeting this&nbsp\;moment with creativity\, persistence\, and hope. Learn practical ways to&nbsp\;take action&nbsp\;and stand together to protect and advance inclusion.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:From Relationship to Leadership: The Enduring Role of Siblings
DESCRIPTION:Siblings\,&nbsp\;whether&nbsp\;they're&nbsp\;biological siblings\, cousins\, or chosen family\,&nbsp\;are often our first friends.&nbsp\;Siblings know each other deeply\, making them uniquely situated to innately understand their loved ones and their vision for a good\, meaningful life in&nbsp\;community.&nbsp\;This distinctive bond&nbsp\;can often&nbsp\;provide&nbsp\;a perspective about&nbsp\;their&nbsp\;siblings’ gifts\, talents&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;potential&nbsp\;opportunities&nbsp\;that can expand&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;dreams for the future and&nbsp\;challenge&nbsp\;others&nbsp\;to consider new&nbsp\;possibilities.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;This panel brings together a diverse group of siblings to share how their unique relationships have created opportunities for belonging\, leadership\, advocacy\, and lifelong friendship. Through reflections on their lived experience\, panelists will share how their sibling bonds shaped their values and ability to support inclusion and strengthen their families throughout their lives.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:The Power of Real Work: Why Employment Matters
DESCRIPTION:Employment is a vital part of the normative life pathway and one of the most powerful drivers of belonging\, identity\, and well-being for people with intellectual disabilities. Employment is more than a paycheque—it is a place to contribute one’s gifts\, build relationships\, take on valued social roles\, and shape a meaningful identity as a youth and adult. Yet too many youth and adults with intellectual disabilities continue to face barriers that interrupt their journey toward full belonging&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;access&nbsp\;to&nbsp\;the workforce. This session explores why employment must be considered an essential expectation—not an optional add-on—and how families\, community members\, and allies can champion inclusive pathways that open doors to real work for real pay. Through stories\, insights\, and practical strategies\, participants will deepen their understanding of why employment is foundational to a good life and how we can collectively ensure that every individual has the opportunity to pursue meaningful\, long-term\, and financially sustainable employment in their community.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Human Rights\, Disability\, and Self-Determination: Blackfoot Nation-Led Responses to Systemic Discrimination in Disability Supports
DESCRIPTION:This session examines the human rights advocacy by Siksika\, Kainai\, and Piikani Nations concerning systemic discrimination experienced by Blackfoot adults with developmental disabilities within federally and provincially administered systems.\n\nDrawing on the lived realities of Blackfoot citizens and Nations\, we will explore how colonial policy frameworks\, chronic underfunding\, and jurisdictional fragmentation have created persistent gaps in disability supports.\nThis session highlights Blackfoot perspectives on what equitable\, culturally grounded\, and Nation-led disability supports must look like. Participants will learn how the Blackfoot Nations are identifying community-defined needs and strengths\, articulating solutions\, and advancing Nation-driven approaches to address gaps left by colonial governments. We will also explore how respectful partnerships can support\, rather than constrain\, First Nations self-determination in disability services.\n\n

SUMMARY:Recognizing Capacity: There is Nothing More Natural than Seeking Support in Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:This session is an opportunity to hear&nbsp\;and learn from&nbsp\;the experiences of&nbsp\;a&nbsp\;families who took some time to deeply reflect on the&nbsp\;capacity of their loves one with an intellectual disability\, including those with significant disabilities\, to&nbsp\;participate&nbsp\;in the decision-making that guides their lives. In&nbsp\;somewhat surprising&nbsp\;but deeply practical ways\, this group of families came to see for themselves the importance of expecting\, noticing\,&nbsp\;recognizing&nbsp\;and following the voice of their family members with a disability in being at the forefront of the decisions in their lives.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nIn this session\, you will:&nbsp\;\nHear family stories about their&nbsp\;journey and the impact of thinking differently about support in decision making.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Understand the importance of relationships in decision making&nbsp\;and in life’s directions&nbsp\;Learn a powerful process to&nbsp\;ensure&nbsp\;the person you love is actively&nbsp\;and increasingly&nbsp\;engaged in the decisions in their lives.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Look&nbsp\;frankly at the natural struggles of families to continually hear and support the voices of their loved ones&nbsp\;Explore how to share what&nbsp\;you’ve&nbsp\;learned with family\, friends and allies as life moves forward&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Stories of Hope: Reclaiming Possibility
DESCRIPTION:This session is an invitation to rediscover that spark of possibility&nbsp\;for a good life for our family&nbsp\;member&nbsp\;with an intellectual disability.&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\nWe’ll&nbsp\;explore why the normative pathway matters—the familiar route toward inclusion\, belonging\, and opportunities that others often take for granted. Following this pathway is&nbsp\;a relentless commitment to&nbsp\;opening doors to education\, employment\, relationships\, and community life that&nbsp\;create&nbsp\;the foundation for thriving.&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\nThrough powerful stories\,&nbsp\;we’ll&nbsp\;uncover narratives of resilience and hope and reimagine what thriving looks like for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Join us for a session that blends practical insight and aspirational thinking—because even when hope feels distant\, the seeds of possibility are always within reach.&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:The Advocacy Landscape: The Time to Act is Now
DESCRIPTION:This annual session will explore the advocacy issues and trends currently impacting individuals and families\, discuss needed responses\, and&nbsp\;provide&nbsp\;practical&nbsp\;ways&nbsp\;to&nbsp\;take&nbsp\;immediate action\, the need for which has never been&nbsp\;more clear.&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\nIn&nbsp\;just a few years\,&nbsp\;many of Alberta’s supports and services to children and adults with intellectual disabilities have been eroded&nbsp\;and&nbsp\;families and persons with disabilities find themselves under constant attack with the public&nbsp\;seemingly unaware&nbsp\;or unconcerned. The usual advocacy strategies which served us well in the past are no&nbsp\;longer&nbsp\;effective&nbsp\;and hope and resiliency are at increasing risk without new forms of collective and individual action.&nbsp\;Times have changed and consequently our actions have to change.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\nDuring this&nbsp\;session&nbsp\;we will&nbsp\;explore and act on some&nbsp\;possible advocacy&nbsp\;strategies&nbsp\;required&nbsp\;today and the actions&nbsp\;all of us&nbsp\;must take to combat the systemic assault on children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their families.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Closing Plenary: Celebrating 25 Years of the Rotary Employment Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive employment is one of the most powerful ways&nbsp\;to&nbsp\;a meaningful&nbsp\;life filled&nbsp\;with purpose\, contribution\, relationships\, and greater financial security. Yet for so many adults with intellectual disabilities\, it has long&nbsp\;remained&nbsp\;out of reach. Thanks to Alberta Rotarians\, Rotary Clubs and Districts\, this is changing. &nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\nOver the past 25 years\, Inclusion Alberta’s Rotary Employment Partnership has grown to encompass 49 clubs&nbsp\;in communities around Alberta\, generating over 950 jobs to date.&nbsp\;This incredibly successful Partnership provides lessons in the capacity of the community to be&nbsp\;welcoming&nbsp\;and inclusive and in the desires of persons with intellectual disabilities to contribute and participate as fully as possible in all life has to offer.&nbsp\;This Partnership is living testimony that&nbsp\;attempts&nbsp\;to&nbsp\;determine&nbsp\;which persons with intellectual disabilities can and cannot work is a false and harmful narrative.&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;\nHear from Rotarians&nbsp\;and business leaders who have championed inclusive hiring and the positive impact this has had on their workplaces\, and from employees with intellectual disabilities and their families who will describe the life-changing impact of meaningful employment and the opportunity to belong and contribute.&nbsp\;
