IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's 2025

On Sunday, May 25, 2025 the Niagara Region joined more than 400 communities across the country for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s – Canada’s largest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Together we walked in support of the 12,079 people in Niagara who are experiencing a progressive dementia, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.

In addition to individual fundraising efforts, the Alzheimer Society of Niagara Region is running an online auction from Friday May 23 @ 9:00 am – Sunday June 8 @ 7:00pm. All funds raised at our Walk and this online auction will support the many programs and services at the Niagara Alzheimer Society.

Any support will help our organization continue to support those living with dementia in Niagara and their care partners, families, and friends. Together, we can provide help for today and hope for tomorrow.

In Niagara, we have one of the highest percentages of seniors per capita, yet we lack available specialized geriatric resources compared to other communities. Currently, there are over 12,477 people in Niagara alone who are experiencing a progressive dementia, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.
 
The Alzheimer Society of Niagara Region offers specialized counselling services to mitigate risk, a vast array of wellness and social programs, and opportunities to educate people living with dementia, their families, caregivers, and the public at large.

From 2024-2025, we:
Accepted over 2,000 new referrals across the Niagara Region
Served 3,058 unique individuals across all departments
Conducted 11,496 visits across the whole organization
Had a total attendance of 10,106 at all programs
Provided 47,624 hours of Respite Care
