The 2020 IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's has been cancelled - Please see below for a message from Glen Mountfield, Senior Development Officer -
We are so grateful that you’ve registered for the 2020 IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s. The event is the Alzheimer Society’s flagship fundraiser and an instrumental way to support people affected by dementia.
Held every year on the first Sunday in May, the event remains an opportunity for people to remember and celebrate people in their lives who have been affected by dementia, while raising funds to support people living with the disease today and to enable research into the causes of and cure for the disease.
Given the current news surrounding COVID-19, we are unable to hold group walks. This decision was informed by recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the BC Centre for Disease Control, which has put limitations on events of more than 50 people, as well as asking the public to engage in social distancing.
We are committed to ensuring the safety of our participants, staff, volunteers and their family and friends.
While we are disappointed we won’t see you in person on the day, we have some exciting plans in the works for another way of coming together as a team, so stay tuned! Still keep May 3 free in your calendar!
Even though it will look different this year, together, we will still remember and celebrate people affected by dementia and fundraise to make a difference for people affected by the disease.
Each donation towards the Walk for Alzheimer's helps fund crucial programs and services for people with dementia, their caregivers, and their families.
