We are a registered charity and local nonprofit organization. For thousands of local families impacted by Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, this is where community, insight and empowerment begin. The issue of dementia and its impact on the Calgary community is multifaceted and especially complex. That's why the Alzheimer Society of Calgary gathered a broad range of contributors together to form Dementia Network Calgary (the Network) in 2013. With a growing prevalence of the disease in our community and an ageing population, we knew we needed a collaborative and strategic approach.
