In this week's free Acadia Lifelong Learning Brown Bag Lunch, we welcome Senator Kelvin Ogilvie to discuss "Dementia in Canada".
Dementia is a growing public health concern in Canada. Over the next 15 years, the number of people with dementia is expected to double – to 1.4 million by 2031 compared to 750,000 now.
Last November, after months of studying the impact of dementia in Canada, the Senate Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology tabled its report, Dementia in Canada: A National Strategy for Dementia-friendly Communities.
Among its 29 recommendations, the report calls for the creation of a Canadian Partnership to Address Dementia and to implement a National Dementia Strategy so Canada can meet the challenges posed by dementia before it evolves into a full-fledged crisis.
In his talk, Senator Kelvin Kenneth Ogilvie, the Chair, will outline the committee’s recommendations aimed at helping the growing number of Canadians who will develop some form of dementia.
Just recently, the Senate completed a very successful digital media campaign on dementia, where many indicated their support for a National Dementia Strategy. As Canadians begin to more fully understand dementia and how it affects them, they are increasingly supportive of the need to address this challenge.
Senator Ogilvie is encouraging the federal government to act on the committee’s recommendations.
