COMMUNITY

Discovering our full potential means stepping beyond our comfort zone to see just how far we can go! Being part of a team, club, band, or even cheering from the stands offers opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others. With support, people with intellectual disabilities can participate, contribute, and thrive in all aspects of community.

Finding these opportunities can mean having to do some work behind the scenes, but more often than not, teachers, coaches, teams, community groups, and friends are open and willing to find creative solutions to accommodate diverse needs and create inclusive environments. Whether it's learning a new skill, practising a developing skill, or assisting someone else to succeed, everyone benefits when we embrace exploring new experiences. Participation doesn't always look the same, and it doesn't have to. A shared love for common interests brings people together, builds meaningful connections, and creates lifelong memories.

Genuine inclusion means that every individual is accepted and valued as an equal and essential member of a community, regardless of background, belief, or ability.

True inclusion goes beyond mere presence and ensures that all individuals have the opportunity to participate fully and contribute in their own unique way.

I'm interested in information from Inclusion Calgary

We recognize and honour the enduring presence, wisdom and contributions of Indigenous Peoples to this land and to our shared communities. We acknowledge that we live, work and meet on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This includes the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations), the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Îyârhe Nakoda Nations (Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney). Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.
