Raging Grannies protesting ADAP switch with street rally

The Lethbridge Raging Grannies are holding their third rally of the month this Friday, in partnership with Friends of Medicare and Inclusion Lethbridge.

The rally is being held in protest of changes being brought forward by the Alberta government, which would switch some residents with disabilities from the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program to the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP).

The province says ADAP will empower Albertans with disabilities to pursue fulfilling job opportunities while continuing to receive financial, health, personal, and employment support.

Raging Grannies says these changes come into effect July 1, 2026, and are causing stress to some of Lethbridge’s most vulnerable citizens.
