2026 Inclusion Alberta Family Conference

Inclusive employment is one of the most powerful ways to a meaningful life filled with purpose, contribution, relationships, and greater financial security. Yet for so many adults with intellectual disabilities, it has long remained out of reach. Thanks to Alberta Rotarians, Rotary Clubs and Districts, this is changing.  
 
Over the past 25 years, Inclusion Alberta’s Rotary Employment Partnership has grown to encompass 49 clubs in communities around Alberta, generating over 950 jobs to date. This incredibly successful Partnership provides lessons in the capacity of the community to be welcoming 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. This Partnership is living testimony that attempts to determine which persons with intellectual disabilities can and cannot work is a false and harmful narrative. 
 
Hear from Rotarians 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.
