The Alzheimer Society of Toronto is here to help
Make Dementia Care a Priority This Election
With one in three voting Ontarians having a close relative impacted by dementia and rising cases of Alzheimer’s and other dementias, too many families are struggling to access the care and support they desperately need. Now is the time to urge candidates to commit to improved dementia care—ensuring better resources, increased funding, and a more compassionate system for those who are impacted by the disease.
The Alzheimer Society has created a valuable toolkit to help you engage with candidates as they seek your vote. It includes key questions to ask when candidates knock on your door or call, as well as a summary of the Alzheimer Society’s priorities for improving dementia care and support. To find out who is running in your riding, use the postal code search tool on the Elections Ontario website.
Add your name to the growing list of concerned individuals in Toronto calling for improved dementia care from the Provincial Government. We will carry your voice as we engage with candidates in the coming weeks leading to Election Day!
