Walk together. Make an impact.

Starting a team for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is a great way to get together, get moving and support families living with dementia.

Dementia affects more people than you might think: 62% of Manitobans have had a close connection to dementia. By walking together, we’re showing those impacted by the disease that they’re not alone.

This May and June, bring together family, friends and coworkers to raise awareness and help support critical programs and services for people living with dementia.

Once you’re registered for the Walk, set up your participant centre! Share why you're walking, set goals and track your progress, connect with your team and send messages to your supporters to thank them for their donations. 

Every step matters. Register and get started in your participant centre today!

It's National Caregiver Day!

Care partners play such an integral role in navigating dementia — offering their time and energy in ways both seen and unseen. This National Caregiver Day, join us in honouring care partners like the "Coffee Ladies" and the important roles they play. 

Why end-of-life care conversations matter in dementia

For many care partners, thinking about end-of-life care can feel overwhelming. It’s a topic often avoided — but planning ahead is one of the most meaningful ways to honour the wishes, values and dignity of a person living with dementia.
