REGISTER today and JOIN us on Friday, May 23, 2025 for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s! It will be a fun filled evening walk!
Thanks to your support and commitment, since 2015 from coast to coast, we’ve raised over $50M to date. These critical funds help us provide and connect people to information, services and community programs such as counselling, respite care, support groups and more for people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia across Canada.
Today, over 650,000 Canadians live with dementia and that number is expected to rise to 1 million by 2030. We need your continued support to ensure that people living with dementia, and those who love and care for them, have the resources they need, close to home
We hope you'll join us! Looking forward to seeing our legacy walkers as well as new walkers all joining together for a common goal!
