Who We Are

ACCD's Mission Statement

The Alberta Committee of Citizens with Disabilities is a consumer-directed organization that actively promotes full participation in society for Albertans with disabilities.

• We must have choice in the services and supports we require.
• We acknowledge and accept the dignity of risk.

Principle of Accessibility

• All buildings and facilities must be accessible.
• Transportation, information, and communication services must meet our diverse needs.
