'We're essential': Disability rights groups shocked by Alberta government funding cut
- Three disability advocacy groups in Alberta are shocked by the government's decision to cut funding contracts over a year early, affecting their operational costs.
- The organizations collectively receive just under $425,000 per year, and their future is uncertain without this funding, according to Keri McEachern.
- The government claims the funding is being redirected to connect individuals with front-line services, but advocates argue that these organizations provide essential community support.
- The decision has been described as cruel by members of the disability community, who emphasize the critical role these groups play in helping individuals achieve their goals.
