September is World Alzheimer’s Month.

This month serves as an opportunity to raise awareness of dementia, challenge the stigma and misconceptions that still exist, and foster greater understanding of its impact on individuals, families, and care partners.

This month, we are proud to bring our community together through a variety of initiatives that raise awareness, challenge stigma, and support people living with dementia, their families, and caregivers. Here are some of the ways you can get involved this September:

💙 Proclamation & Flag Raising Ceremony: Join us at the Regional Municipality of Durham Headquarters on World Alzheimer's Day: September 21 for a proclamation and flag-raising ceremony recognizing World Alzheimer’s Month. The ceremony will take place outdoors at the community flag poles facing Rossland Road.

💙 50/50 Raffle: Ticket sales are now open! Purchase your tickets before September 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. for your chance to win. The more tickets sold, the larger the jackpot grows, with the winner taking home 50% of total ticket sales.

💙 Forget-Me-Not Fundraiser: Make a $2 donation at a participating location and add your name to a Forget-Me-Not flower, displayed in-store as a symbol of support and awareness.

💙 Visit Domino’s Pizza: Stop by a participating Domino’s location on World Alzheimer's Day and support ASDR! Stay tuned for more information.

It was a pleasure to welcome the team from TD Bank Group to The Social and recognize their incredible support of local families impacted by dementia.

Through a generous $50,000 pledge, TD has helped support the expansion of The Social over the past year, increasing access to this 100% donor-funded social and recreational program for people living with early to mid-stage dementia. This latest investment brings TD’s cumulative support of the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region to $80,000.

We are incredibly grateful to TD Bank Group for their continued generosity and dedication to supporting people impacted by dementia in our community.

Thank you, TD!

We are proud to share our latest Annual Report!

This report highlights a year of growth, connection, and meaningful impact for individuals living with dementia, their care partners, and their families. 🫂

We are grateful to our staff, volunteers, community partners, donors, and supporters whose dedication makes this work possible. At the heart of our work are the individuals and families we serve, and through guidance, connection, and compassionate support, we strive to ensure no one navigates dementia alone. We are deeply grateful for the trust our clients place in us and for the generosity of those who support our mission.

Together, we are building a more dementia-friendly Durham Region where individuals living with dementia and their care partners feel supported, understood, and empowered.
