The annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's returns to more than 150 communities across Canada on May 30 [1].

As the country's largest fundraiser for dementia care, the event provides critical financial support for research and care services. These walks aim to raise money and awareness to support individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and their families [1].

Events are scheduled for the weekend of May 30-31, 2026 [3]. While the broad initiative spans two days, specific local schedules vary by municipality [4].

In North Bay, the community walk is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, 2026 [2]. The event will take place at the Kiwanis Bandshell on Memorial Drive from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. [2].

Organizers said these gatherings bring dementia support directly into the community. By mobilizing participants in over 150 locations, the initiative seeks to reduce the isolation often felt by those affected by cognitive decline [1].

“Canada’s largest fundraiser for dementia care”

The scale of the IG Wealth Management Walk highlights the significant public health burden of dementia in Canada. By utilizing a decentralized model across 150 communities, the organizers are attempting to normalize the conversation around cognitive decline while securing the large-scale funding necessary for medical research and patient support systems.
