Active in more than 140 communities across Canada, the Society is also a key player in Alzheimer's Disease International, a leading organization in world wide efforts to fight dementia.
Currently, there are 500,000 Canadians living with dementia and within a generation, dementia may affect more than one million people across the country.

Famous quotes containing the word society:
“Probably I should not consciously and deliberately forsake my particular calling to do the good which society demands of me, to save the universe from annihilation; and I believe that a like but infinitely greater steadfastness elsewhere is all that now preserves it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I don’t see much future for the Americans.... Everything about the behavior of American society reveals that it’s half Judaized, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?”
