Hello NB!
On May 6, 2025, we have an opportunity to stand together in solidarity and demand real, lasting change.
📣 The message is clear: Accessibility is a right—not a privilege.
We’re gathering at the Alberta Legislature Building from 12:00–1:00 PM for the Act NOW Rally to call for:
✅ A strong, enforceable Accessible Alberta Act
✅ Protection of the Canada Disability Benefit—no clawbacks (This is a recent development and current concern, you will learn more about in upcoming team meetings)
✅ Nothing About Us Without Us – meaningful consultation
✅ Shorter waitlists and better service access
✅ Transparency across programs and systems
Before the rally, we’re opening up the office and inviting the community to come together in our boardroom starting at 10:00 AM to make signs and posters.
🎨 Supplies will be provided—just bring your creativity and passion.
👣 Then, we’ll head down to the Legislature together as a group.
We’re also extending this invitation to the people we work for and their families—please connect with your Leadership and Development Person (LD) at your next team meeting to discuss the best way to facilitate this together.
ASL interpretation will be available at the rally to ensure it’s accessible for all.

Let’s stand together, speak up, and support a future that includes everyone.

Hello NB Community,
As many of you know, Neighborhood Bridges has given back to the Edmonton Food Bank for the past 8 years as a participant of the Healthy Hamper Food Drive.
Many of the members in our NB Community Family use the Edmonton Food Bank to address Food Insecurity & to bridge the gap in food due to food inflation prices. Everyone is feeling it this year.
As a Staff or Contractor of NB, IF you would like to contribute there is an email💌 in how you can do that in your inbox or talk to your LD for more info.
Additionally, for any NB families or community members that personally want to donate to the food bank the secure Healthy Hamper Food Drive Link is below, 🥫👇
