Brief description
The Alzheimer Society of BC ensures people affected by dementia are not alone, by educating and mobilizing a broader community of care around them, and supporting valuable research into the disease and people living with it.
Biography

In 1981, a group of caregivers gathered to discuss the challenges of caring for a person diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Out of their compassion and determination, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. was ultimately founded. From those humble roots, the Society has blossomed into an organization active in communities across British Columbia.

The Alzheimer Society of BC's vision is a world without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and that world begins with a more dementia-friendly society, where people affected by dementia are acknowledged, supported and included.
