Are you passionate about self advocacy? Do you live in rural Alberta and feel isolated and disconnected from your peers? AACT got money through FCSS at the City of Calgary to do a project to connect people in rural and remote parts of Alberta to the self-advocacy community. Free training and table will be provided. If you, or someone you know, live in rural Alberta and would like to participate please check out our website for more details.”
