Thank you for protecting women’s shelters.

In May 2026, the Government of Alberta announced funding reductions for women’s shelters across the province. We asked the Ministry of Children and Family Services to delay the cuts by one year. We also asked you to add your voice to the cause.

You showed up in a big way.

Nearly 500 letters were sent to 78 MLAs through our campaign webpage, and our message was shared thousands of times on social media.

From Pincher Creek to Fort McMurray, Albertans took up our cause to protect women’s shelters.

Following discussions spurred by the campaign, the Ministry postponed the cuts until 2027. They also announced a new $16 million investment in Alberta women’s shelters, including $700,000 in transitional funding for shelters affected by operational budget cuts.

You’ve shown us what’s possible when Albertans stand up and speak out together.

Thank you for supporting shelters.

Thank you for protecting women and children facing abuse.

Thank you for standing with us.
