REGISTER today and JOIN us in 2026 for the
IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s!
Thanks to your support and commitment, we’ve raised over $50M to date. These critical funds help us provide and connect people to information, support services, education programs and more for people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia and their care partners across Canada.
Today, over 750,000 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, and we will keep you updated with more exciting details in the months to come. We can't wait to see you in May 2026!

Why Your Walk Matters
Funds raised support programs and services in your community that improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their families. With over 62,000 people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in Alberta and Northwest Territories, and no cure yet, the need to support people with dementia and their care partners has never been greater.
Join us for this family-friendly event as hundreds of walkers make memories matter and raise awareness and funds to support people living with dementia in Edmonton and area. The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's builds on the strength of thousands of community walks across the country, all raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
"As someone who lost my grandmother to dementia, and who is now caring for my dad through his diagnosis, I cannot tell you what it means to see this show of support from the community. To know that the people participating in the walk are here to make a difference in the lives of everyone affected by dementia, and to honour the people they love, gives me hope for the future." – Loving care partner and Walk participant
