IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's


The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's, presented by Go Auto, returns to communities across British Columbia on Sunday, May 28, 2023 in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C.

The Walk is the largest annual fundraising event for the Society and is a way to honour and remember people in our lives, and in our communities, who have been affected by the disease. Funds raised will help to provide programs and services for families on the journey, and contribute to research into the causes of, and possible treatments for, the disease.

Right now, there are more than 85,000 people living with dementia in B.C. The Society provides people living with dementia, and their caregivers, the support they need to maintain the best possible quality of life throughout the progression of the disease. It is through the generous efforts of fundraisers who participate in events such as the Walk that we are able to deliver this support.

Join us to show people affected by dementia they don’t have to walk the journey alone.

To register, choose your Walk location using the drop-down menu at the top of this page, and then ‘Click to Continue’. On the next page, register as an individual, start a new team or join an existing team.

Walk in a Box & Walk Your Way

If you are unable to participate in one of our official in-person Walk events, but you would still like to be involved this year, please consider:

  • Walk in a Box – Plan a small event with family, friends or coworkers. Walk in your neighbourhood, or simply gather together, and raise funds.

  • Walk Your Way – Get active in a way that suits you: run, cycle, swim, paddle, dance, etc. However you choose to move, show your support in your own way.
To learn more about Walk in a Box or Walk your way, contact our Events team.
