Families across British Columbia are affected by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s vision is a world without dementia; that vision begins when people living with the disease are welcomed, acknowledged and included. Working in communities throughout the province, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. supports, educates, and advocates for those affected by dementia (including families), and enables research focused on prevention, cause, diagnosis and treatment, cure, and quality of life. As part of a national federation, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is a leading authority on the disease in Canada. Learn more at alzheimer.ca/bc.
