And one new person will develop dementia every 5 minutes. By 2038, 1.1 million Canadians will have dementia. That’s one every two minutes.

Early diagnosis of dementia helps people get care, support and medications so they can live better with dementia and make important legal, financial and medical decisions. Get the facts. Know for sure.
