Hello NB!

On May 6, 2025, we have an opportunity to stand together in solidarity and demand real, lasting change.

📣 The message is clear: Accessibility is a right—not a privilege.

We’re gathering at the Alberta Legislature Building from 12:00–1:00 PM for the Act NOW Rally to call for:
✅ A strong, enforceable Accessible Alberta Act
✅ Protection of the Canada Disability Benefit—no clawbacks (This is a recent development and current concern, you will learn more about in upcoming team meetings)
✅ Nothing About Us Without Us – meaningful consultation
✅ Shorter waitlists and better service access
✅ Transparency across programs and systems

Before the rally, we’re opening up the office and inviting the community to come together in our boardroom starting at 10:00 AM to make signs and posters.
🎨 Supplies will be provided—just bring your creativity and passion.
👣 Then, we’ll head down to the Legislature together as a group.

We’re also extending this invitation to the people we work for and their families—please connect with your Leadership and Development Person (LD) at your next team meeting to discuss the best way to facilitate this together.

ASL interpretation will be available at the rally to ensure it’s accessible for all.

Let’s stand together, speak up, and support a future that includes everyone.

Hello NB Community,

As many of you know, Neighborhood Bridges has given back to the Edmonton Food Bank for the past 8 years as a participant of the Healthy Hamper Food Drive.

Many of the members in our NB Community Family use the Edmonton Food Bank to address Food Insecurity & to bridge the gap in food due to food inflation prices. Everyone is feeling it this year.

As a Staff or Contractor of NB, IF you would like to contribute there is an email💌 in how you can do that in your inbox or talk to your LD for more info.

Additionally, for any NB families or community members that personally want to donate to the food bank the secure Healthy Hamper Food Drive Link is below, 🥫👇

Neighborhood Bridges has been recognized as a Donor to the Food Bank on their local businesses that give back page for 8 years 🧡

This is something we are proud of and we thank-you for helping us feed those in need and keeping this service going for the many people in our community who use it 🤎

Thank-you

This year will mark the 7th year, NB Community has come together with other local businesses to address food insecurity issues with the Edmonton Food Bank.

The Food Bank is feeling the pressure this year!! 2 out of 9 Albertans are unable to put food on the table‼️

The past 3 years have taken a toll on many families (mental health, addiction, and homeless statistics are up as a result of isolation, job loss, and inflation costs).
Many families are struggling and the demand on the Food Bank continues to grow. If you have even a dollar to spare to support those locally in your community and put food on their tables this season it would be greatly appreciated.

You can DONATE a few ways ⬇️

1️⃣ANYONE can click the secure donation link to donate to the food bank in the Annual Healthful Hamper Drive. Please enter (NB) behind your name so we can tally the donations from the NB community as a whole

https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/7th-annual-healthful-hamper-food-drive/

2️⃣ EMPLOYEES & CONTRACTORS YOU can donate directly from your upcoming NB cheque (please see email for details 💌)

Additionally 🥰

👉We will have a table at the NB office allocated to collect tangible food donations🥫. When you come into office for a team meeting or to visit, feel free to drop off a few non-perishable goods to the collective table to donate to the food bank.

They are looking this year BABY goods, Gluten-free products, Cat or dog food, non perishable proteins (i.e. beans, lentils, canned fish), lunchbox foods (the needs to feed kids is high right now).

EVEN $1 DONATION & 1 CAN OF SOUP MAKES A DIFFERENCE. WHEN WE COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY WE CAN HELP MANY OF THOSE IN NEED & HELP THE FOOD BANK CONTINUE TO HELP SO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY THIS SEASON ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
