The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is Canada’s largest fundraiser for dementia, taking place annually in over 200 communities nationwide. Since its inception, the Walk has raised over $47 million to support individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.
This cause is personal for me. I joined the board of the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia after witnessing the impact of Alzheimer’s on my family, particularly through my grandmother, Genevieve Power. We watched her gradually lose her memories, relationships, and independence—a challenging experience that many families unfortunately share.
Over 16,000 people in Nova Scotia are living with dementia, and that number continues to grow. The Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia provides essential programs and services, such as the Dementia Helpline, caregiver education, and local support groups, to assist those affected. By participating in this Walk, I’m aiming to raise funds to support these vital services. If you’re able to contribute, your donation will directly aid individuals and families navigating life with dementia.
Thank you for your support.
