By 2031, 1.4 million Canadians will have dementia. That’s less than 20 years away.

Canada needs a national dementia strategy to curb the social, economic and personal costs of this disease and to better prepare us for the future.

The Alzheimer Society has proposed the creation of the Canadian Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Partnership (CADDP) to implement a national dementia strategy for Canada.

Before Canadians go to the polls on October 19, 2015, we want to open the dialogue and build a foundation for working together with elected representatives post-election.

Whether you have two minutes or several days, there are many ways to take action.
