Voice of Albertans With Disabilities
BNI Member: Sam Mason, BCom (they/them/she/her)

"The Voice of Albertans with disabilities actively promotes full participation in society and provides a voice for Albertans with disabilities through our guiding principles of full participation, accessibility and equality. Since 1973, Voice of Albertans with Disabilities has been a provincial, cross disability organization of individuals with disabilities and we are dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities through our efforts, services and programs. Over the years we have consulted and collaborated with like-minded organizations on many important projects that impact the daily lives of individuals with disabilities.

BNI Alberta North has been an incredible resource for both us as an organization and to clients. We are able to direct the people we work with to BNI members with confidence because that trust has been built and we know that the members will treat our clients with the respect and care that they deserve but, unfortunately, is so often not afforded to them because of stigma and misconceptions. It has also been a huge opportunity for us to educate business owners on the value of accessibility, equality and full participation for people with disabilities and to be a resource to the BNI members when looking to improve their accessibility for people with disabilities."
