Alzheimer's Awareness Month Supporting Those Living with Dementia
Every January, Alzheimer’s Awareness Month shines a spotlight on the growing impact of dementia. By 2030, almost 1 million Canadians will live with dementia. In Quebec, more than 147,000 people are currently living with dementia—a figure expected to surge to 360,000 by 2050.
A dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming, bringing significant challenges for both individuals and their families. However, with the right support and resources, it is possible to find moments of joy, meaning, and connection throughout the dementia journey.
At AGI, we are dedicated to empowering those affected by dementia through compassionate guidance, education, and tailored support.
Together, we can navigate this journey with hope and resilience.

Do I still Need This Medication?
How to Make Sure Your Medications are Helping, Not Harming.
Medications can help us in many different ways. However, as we age, our bodies become more sensitive to the effects of medications. Some medications we take may even cause more harm than benefit. Learn about safe medication use and essential questions to ask your healthcare professional to help prevent medication harm - for you and those you care for.
