This month marks Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, Indigenous people across the country face structural barriers to dementia diagnosis and treatment. A recent Alzheimer Society of Canada report estimates that in 2020 there were 10,800 people of Indigenous ancestry living with dementia in Canada. By 2050, we can expect this number to increase by 273% to 40,300.
We support every individual and families out there that has someone affected by this condition.
