Who We Are
You can find Ability Employment at 416 8 Street South, Lethbridge. Ability Employment is a division of the Ability Resource Association, a not-for-profit registered charity.
Services are funded in part by the federal and provincial government through various funding agreements. We offer comprehensive employment services to adults in Lethbridge who:
- Live with diagnosed or self-declared disabilities or
