Fundraising Goal
700,000 Canadians currently live with dementia. By 2050, nearly 2 million people living in Canada could be living with dementia.
Since 2015, the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s has raised over $50M for people living with dementia and their care partners. Thank you for making a difference!
If the onset of dementia could be delayed by 10 years, over 4 million new cases of dementia could be avoided by 2050.

I’ve been working at the Alzheimer Society of NB... organizing the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s. In the past I walked for my uncles and my aunts, but this year everything changed when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s... our goal is to help him live well and create beautiful memories... I know he will never forget the way we made him feel, and he will continue to hold our memories in his heart.

I participated in my very first walk in 1999 when I was 13 years old... my Grandfather passed away and I wanted to do something to honour his memory and raise awareness... in 2022 I was honoured to participate with my daughter who was just 5 days old... I am proud to continue supporting our local organization that does so much for the members... living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

When I was in my 20’s my grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. Many years later my husband Bob developed vascular dementia... my mom Margaret developed dementia... my second husband Don was diagnosed with dementia. I have had so much dementia in my life. So I walk every spring with my canine friend Joey. And will continue to do so, until I can’t.
