The Alzheimer Society of Toronto is here to help
Welcome to the Alzheimer Society of Toronto!
The earlier you know, the more you can do
September is World Alzheimer’s Month, and this year’s theme says it clearly: the earlier you know, the more you can do.
More than 78 million people around the world are projected to be living with dementia by 2030, increasing to 139 million by 2050. Globally, someone develops dementia every three seconds. In Canada, more than 750,000 people are living with dementia today. By 2030, that number is expected to approach 1 million. In Toronto, over 51,000 people are currently living with dementia. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a community. That’s why awareness matters, and why your support does too. An earlier and accurate dementia diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, education, and planning. This September, we can help more Canadians living with dementia and their care partners get the support they deserve.
The AST Online 50/50 is LIVE!
Behind every person living with dementia is a story. A spouse navigating a new diagnosis. A daughter learning how to support her parent. A family caregiver who needs someone to turn to. A person living with dementia who wants to stay connected to the people and activities they love.
At the Alzheimer Society of Toronto, we’re here for all of them.
You can help make that support possible and have a chance to win at the same time.
A winning ticket is worth 50% of the jackpot! Your participation helps support the programs, education, counselling, care navigation and community connections that help people affected by dementia live with greater confidence, connection and hope.
Tickets are available until midnight on World Alzheimer’s Day on September 21, 2026. The draw will take place on September 22, 2026.
