Alzheimer Society of Canada

At the Alzheimer Society of Canada, we see every day how dementia affects thousands across the country — and how the right support can make a meaningful difference. More than 414 people in Canada develop dementia each day. To help people live safely, confidently, and as independently as possible, we need care that’s truly designed with dementia in mind. That’s why we’re sharing information about the proposed new standard, CSA Z2000: Dementia-inclusive home and community care. This standard aims to strengthen the quality of care and improve the everyday experiences of people living with dementia and their care partners. Join the virtual information session! Monday, December 1: 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. EST Register: https://bit.ly/48ZZNa5 We encourage people living with dementia, care partners and health-care providers to learn more and participate in this public forum. Your insights can help shape a more dementia-inclusive future for all! cc: Canadian Standards Association

Remembrance Day invites us to stop and reflect -- to remember those who served with courage and compassion and to honour the legacies they leave behind. At the Alzheimer Society of Canada, we know that memories matter. They connect us to the people we love and to the history we share. Today, as we remember the bravery of our veterans, we also celebrate the strength that comes from remembrance itself -- from holding stories close and passing them on. Lest we forget. 🌺 #RemembranceDay #AlzheimerSociety #LestWeForget
