đź’™ Northern Voices: Creating Connections That Matter

For our first Northern Voices story, we are sharing a powerful look at what dementia can mean for individuals, care partners, families, and communities across Northern Ontario.

From the fear and uncertainty that can come with a diagnosis to the joy of finding meaningful support, this video reminds us why connection matters.

Through programs, education, social interaction, and support for care partners, Alzheimer Societies across the North are helping people living with dementia continue to feel included, valued, loved, and safe.

Our northern communities face unique challenges, including long distances and limited resources, but no one should have to navigate dementia alone.

This September, we invite you to listen, learn, share, and help us create connections that matter.

đź’™ Introducing Northern Voices

This September, we are proud to launch Northern Voices, a campaign sharing the stories and experiences of people whose lives have been touched by dementia across our northern communities.

Throughout the month, we will be sharing a new video each week, highlighting the voices of people living with dementia, care partners, families, and those who help create meaningful connections in our communities.

We’re kicking off Northern Voices with a 30-second preview of our full-length, five-minute video. Watch the preview today, then join us tomorrow when we share the full story on Facebook and YouTube.

When someone is living with dementia, the impact is felt by the whole family. Isolation can creep in, routines can change, and care partners can find themselves putting more and more of their own lives aside.

Meaningful connection can make a difference.

Social interaction and opportunities to feel included can bring joy, purpose, and belonging to people living with dementia. That support can also give care partners something incredibly valuable: the opportunity to reconnect with parts of their own lives.

At the Alzheimer Society, creating connections that matter is at the heart of what we do.

Join us throughout September as we share more Northern Voices and help build communities where people living with dementia and their care partners feel supported, understood, and included. đź’™

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. This year’s theme from Alzheimer’s Disease International says it clearly: the earlier you know, the more you can do. An earlier and accurate dementia diagnosis can open the door to treatment, support, education, and planning. Yet fear and stigma still prevent many people from seeking help, in Canada and around the world. This September, let’s change that. Together, we can help more Canadians living with dementia and their care partners get the support they deserve.



Septembre est le Mois mondial de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Le thème proposé par Alzheimer’s Disease International cette année ne prend pas de détours : plus on le sait tôt, plus on peut agir. Un diagnostic précoce et précis de trouble neurocognitif peut favoriser l’accès aux traitements, au soutien et à des informations, et aider à mieux planifier l’avenir. La sensibilisation est essentielle, car la peur et la stigmatisation empêchent encore de nombreuses personnes du Canada et du monde entier de demander de l’aide. En septembre, changeons la donne. Ensemble, nous pouvons aider davantage de personnes vivant avec un trouble neurocognitif et de proches aidant·es du Canada à bénéficier d’un soutien mérité.
