Vision of Full Citizenship

The Premier’s Council believes that, given the proper support and commitment, persons with disabilities will be a part of all aspects of Alberta society. This includes:

• All persons with disabilities, including First Nations, Metis, Inuit, and other Aboriginals with disabilities, are valued as full citizens in all aspects of Alberta society – fully participating in the social, economic and political life of Alberta communities.
• Albertans with disabilities receive the support they require to achieve a standard of living and quality of life that ensures health, safety, comfort and dignity.
• Albertans with disabilities have the rights, freedoms and responsibilities to make choices and determine their own destinies.
• Education and employment rates are similar to those of the general population – every Albertan with a disability is encouraged to reach for his or her full potential.
• Albertans with disabilities are respected as partners and valuable assets in the process of crafting and owning the new Alberta prosperity.
