🚨Women’s shelters in Alberta are facing critical funding reductions.

Many Alberta shelters have been notified of funding reductions totalling nearly $1 million per year collectively, effective July 1, 2026. Most affected shelters serve rural communities, where rates of intimate partner violence are higher, women face greater barriers to safety, and there are fewer resources for those impacted by violence.

🙅🏽‍♀️1.8× higher rates of intimate partner violence in rural communities
🙅🏻‍♀️ 2.9× more likely for women to be violently killed in rural communities
🙅🏼‍♀️ 10+ years since Alberta women’s shelters received an operational funding increase

True North is a proud ACWS member. ACWS is calling for:
👉 A delay in implementation to 2027–2028 to allow time for a safe transition and reduce harm.
👉 Release of the funding methodology to ensure transparency and public accountability.
