Dementia Alarm: A Growing Concern in Manitoba

Did you know that a staggering 20,300 Manitobans are living with a dementia diagnosis? This number is set to double by 2050, making the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba's mission more crucial than ever!

A Legacy of Support for Families

Founded four decades ago, the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba is dedicated to ensuring that all individuals affected by dementia receive the support they need and remain hopeful for the future. As a province-wide organization, they offer First Link education and support programs, create dementia-friendly communities, and fund vital research.

The Ripple Effect of Dementia

CEO Erin Crawford highlights that over 60% of Manitobans have a friend or family member affected by dementia. "And that daunting statistic is only projected to rise," she warns. The Society's goal is to provide comprehensive support so no one has to navigate this challenging journey alone.

Protecting Brain Health

The Alzheimer Society not only supports those diagnosed but also reaches out to the public on how to maintain brain health and reduce dementia risks. It's an essential message for everyone!

Walk for Alzheimer’s: More Than Just a Fundraiser!

The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is the Society’s biggest fundraising event of the year, where communities come together to walk for those living with dementia. This annual event allows participants to connect, support one another, and have a great time while raising crucial funds.
