September 20th: World Alzheimer’s Day. “The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters”

“By the year 2050, more than 1.7 million Canadians are expected to be living with dementia, with an average of 685 being diagnosed each day. We all have a role to play in creating a country where people living with dementia are met with compassion and are acknowledged as rightful members of society.” (from “Dementia Friendly Canada” www.alzheimer.ca)
