In honour of Pride Month, we’re sharing ‘Empowerment through Advocacy’, an RHA Story about identity, disability, friendship, advocacy and belonging.

This story reflects something we believe deeply at RHA: people should be supported to live full lives as their whole selves.

That means listening when people tell us who they are, what they need, who they love, and what kind of spaces help them feel safe, valued and celebrated.

Because no one should have to separate who they are from the support they receive. And no one should have to leave their identity, relationships, or hopes outside the room.

We’re grateful to share this story, and even more grateful to the people who trusted us with it.

Have you applied for FSCD support in Alberta?

CBC News is inviting families to share their experiences with the Family Support for Children with Disabilities program — whether you’re still waiting or have received support.

RHA is sharing this opportunity for awareness, so families who wish to participate can share their perspective directly with CBC. Participation is voluntary, and CBC notes that identifying information will not be published without permission.

A very special moment for Justin!

Last month, Justin had the exciting opportunity to travel to Calgary to meet Jim Cummings, the voice of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger.

After connecting through Justin’s creative content online, Justin and Jim had the chance to meet in person. Justin made the trip to Calgary for the visit, where he got Jim’s autograph and enjoyed what he called a “fantastic experience!”

Also pictured with Justin is Chris, who produces Jim’s podcast, Toon’d In!.

What an incredible day — and such a meaningful reminder of how creativity, connection, and shared interests can bring people together.

Earlier this month, at our first-ever Empowerment Gala, we premiered the first of our new RHA Stories — and many of you have asked if those videos would be shared more publicly.

Today, on the final day of World Autism Month, we’re releasing the first of them.

This first story is Christian’s.

Featuring his parents, Lisa and Kelly, it offers an honest glimpse into their family’s life, the support they found, and what began to return once that support was in place: steadiness, confidence, and hope for the future.

We’re very proud to share it.

If this story resonates with you, we invite you to consider becoming a monthly donor. Ongoing support helps sustain the kind of steady, trusted care that individuals and families rely on.

For 19 incredible seasons, James was a valued part of the Sherwood Park Crusaders family. 💚🏒

Since 2007, he served as Locker Room Attendant with pride and dedication, supporting the team behind the scenes by preparing jerseys, laundering gear, restocking supplies, filling water bottles, and helping wherever needed.

After retiring on March 26, the Crusaders honored his 19-year legacy with a special ceremonial puck drop on March 28. A beautiful tribute to someone who gave so much to the organization.

Beyond his work, James is appreciated for his humility, kindness, and the strong connections he’s built with players and coaches over the years. He’s a genuinely respected and valued part of the team.

Thank you, James, for everything — and congratulations on your retirement! 💫

We’re incredibly grateful to Vince’s Auto Care, Presenting Sponsor of the Empowerment Gala.

For owner Tony Malinowski, this support is personal. Through family and firsthand experience, he has seen the impact Robin Hood Association has on individuals and families — and what it means when the right support is there.

That connection is also part of Vince’s Auto’s day-to-day work. Their team helps service and maintain RHA’s paratransit vehicles, helping ensure individuals can reliably access programs, employment, and community life.

Built on trust, relationships, and a belief in giving back, Vince’s Auto has been part of the Sherwood Park community for decades.

On the eve of the Empowerment Gala, we want to take a moment to recognize the sponsors who have helped bring this evening to life.

This event is made possible by organizations and individuals who choose to stand alongside our community — not just in words, but through meaningful action.

Support like this matters deeply. It allows us to gather, to share stories, and to continue building spaces where people can feel a true sense of belonging.

It also matters that our community sees who shows up. These partnerships are meaningful, and they create opportunities for connection, for recognition, and for that support to be felt in return.

To all of our sponsors — thank you for your trust, your generosity, and your commitment to this work. Your support helps empower everything we do.
