Official Announcement: SAIPA Closure
It is with deep regret and heavy hearts that the Board of Directors of the Southern Alberta Individualized Planning Association (SAIPA) announces the difficult decision to cease operations, effective March 31, 2025. This decision follows the abrupt and unforeseen loss of critical funding, making it no longer feasible to sustain our services.
For many years, SAIPA has been a cornerstone of advocacy and support for individuals with disabilities across Southern Alberta. Our mission has always been to empower Self-Advocacy, promote inclusion, and ensure that the voices of individuals with disabilities are heard and respected in all areas of life. The impact of our work has been made possible through the unwavering support of our dedicated staff, volunteers, community partners, and stakeholders.
We are profoundly grateful for the countless individuals and organizations that have stood beside us throughout this journey. Your commitment, passion, and generosity have been instrumental in building a more inclusive and supportive community. The collaborative efforts we have shared will leave a lasting legacy, and the progress we’ve achieved together will not be forgotten.
While SAIPA’s chapter is coming to a close, the need for advocacy, support, and inclusion remains as vital as ever. We sincerely hope that the community will continue to work together to champion the rights and voices of people with disabilities. The strength of our collective efforts can and must endure, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to live with dignity, independence, and respect.
Thank you once again for being an integral part of SAIPA’s journey. Though our organization is closing, the spirit of advocacy and inclusion that we have fostered together will continue to inspire positive change.

With heartfelt gratitude,
SAIPA Board
