It’s no secret. Canada’s population is getting older.


There are now more Canadians aged 65 plus than under 15. More than 1.1 million Canadians are directly or indirectly affected by dementia. Worldwide, 50 million people live with the disease, according to the World Health Organ­ization. Currently, there are no medications that can stop it.
