The Ministry’s approach promotes building a resilient community network tailored to support self-reliance and inclusion for sensory-impaired individuals. Interested parties are required to submit their applications by January 23, 2026, with Stephen Hynes serving as the primary contracting authority. The service delivery will be based in Alberta, aligning with the government’s commitment to addressing the unique needs of sensory disability populations through targeted social support programs.
