Across the territories is a yellow speech bubble that reads Barrier-Free Ab in 2023! On the right next to the map black text reads only 2 provinces left… Will Alberta be the last province to create accessibility legislation? There are three sections with corresponding icons below that. The leftmost reads one quarter of Albertans live with disabilities, which is roughly the population of Edmonton, the icon is an outline of four people on a circle.
