Skills Society, Inclusion Alberta, Civida (formerly Capital Region Housing), and Homeward Trust have partnered to explore affordable and inclusive housing for people with developmental disabilities. The creation of housing and support models that are affordable, accessible, and also support the social inclusion of people with developmental disabilities is complex work that requires the coordination and cooperation of multiple stakeholders and deeper insight into the perspectives and experiences of people with disabilities. This lab seeks to address the current gaps in housing for people with disabilities using a social innovation lab approach. This project is funded by the the National Housing Strategy under NHS Solutions Lab, however, the views expressed are the views of the Future of Home Lab and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) accepts no responsibility for them.

The Edmonton Heritage Council and Multicultural Health Brokers Cooperative worked with seven different communities to create exhibits delving into the rich heritage of those who have come to call Canada home and celebrate Canada 150. This creative program combined photos, videos, stories and perspectives from around the city throughout 2017-18. amiskwaciwâskahikan/Edmonton has been a living room welcoming guests for tens of thousands of years. We wish to thank the Indigenous peoples of Treaty Six Territory, the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others, to whom we are indebted for their gracious hospitality and sacrifice, and for weaving the rich fabric of histories, languages and cultures of this place.

This documentary is a record of the community work completed by the ELL class of JDB through a CIP grant awarded by the Alberta Government. The aim of the project was for newcomer youth to get to know their neighbours in order to develop a greater sense of belonging in their community. Elements of the project included door knocking to interview and create “trading cards”, event planning and community volunteering, intergenerational digital storytelling, and painting a mural. This project followed the Abundant Communities Edmonton framework and will have a sustainable impact because the data collected has been given to the Hairsine Community League, in order to further connect neighbours around their shared interests and needs.

Over the past year, Edmonton group Newcomers Are Lit! produced a remixed song and music video inspired by Lin-Manuel Miranda’s viral hit Immigrants (We Get the Job Done).
