Canadians from Coast-to-Coast Join Forces forthe Annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s
This spring, join tens of thousands across Canada to take strides toward a future without dementia. The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is Canada’s largest fundraiser in support of people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
With over 750,000 Canadians currently living with dementia—a number expected to reach nearly two million by 2050 —the need for awareness, support services, and research has never been more critical. Each day, more than 500 people in Canada receive a dementia diagnosis. The time to act is now.
Slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s and dementia begins with awareness and education, and the Alzheimer Society Lanark Leeds Grenville is proud to offer programs and services to meet the needs of people living with dementia and their caregivers in Lanark Leeds Grenville. The nationwide Walk funds these community programs and services at Alzheimer Societies across Canada, providing much-needed access to one-on-one counseling and support.
In 2025, the Walk raised $7.2 million, contributing to over $60 million raised since 2015.
We are encouraging our Lanark, Leeds 7 Grenville friends, neighbours and community partners to register, form teams, and start fundraising for the 2026 Walk today at walkforalzheimers.ca. Participants can also share their stories and reasons for walking using the hashtag #MemoriesMatter and #WalkWithUs.
Whether you're walking in honour of a loved one, in support of a friend or caregiver, or simply to make a difference in your community, your story matters.
