Alzheimer’s Awareness Month 2025: Your Path Forward
This January, during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we’re helping Manitobans increase their understanding of dementia and the resources available through the Alzheimer Society that can help you on your path forward while navigating cognitive changes or a dementia diagnosis.
More than 20,300 Manitobans currently live with dementia – a number expected to reach 39,100 by 2050. The Society is a place for individuals and families to turn to for support whether you’re worried that you or someone you know has dementia, experiencing the first signs, adjusting to a diagnosis, facing later progression of the disease or caring for someone living with the disease. Our First Link Client Support staff are here to listen, provide reassurance and help you figure out your next steps.
Gary, Denise and Tanis are three Manitobans impacted by dementia in unique ways. Although dementia affects them differently, they all have something in common: the support they received from the Society has helped them overcome challenges and find their path toward living well with dementia. Read their stories below to learn more.
Thank you for taking the time to learn and understand.

Over forty years ago, a small group of care partners held a public meeting in Winnipeg to share information about dementia. They hoped 25 or 50 people would attend, but over 350 showed up! They took the names and phone numbers of those in attendance and decided to form an Alzheimer Society chapter in Manitoba – united by the idea that they could make a difference for Manitobans needing clarity and support while facing the challenges of dementia.
Today, the Alzheimer Society continues to help Manitobans affected by dementia receive the help they need now and have hope for the future.
As a province-wide organization, the Society seeks to achieve its mission through community awareness, education, support programs and research funding.
