On Saturday, May 30, walkers gathered in Brantford, Jarvis, Hamilton, and Oakville to raise awareness and funds in support of people living with dementia and their care partners in our community.

A Beautiful Day Across All Four Communities

From start to finish, the day was filled with sunshine, energy, and connection. Parks and pathways were filled with teams, families, friends, and supporters—all walking with purpose and showing what it means to be part of a compassionate, dementia-friendly community.

Thank You to Our Community

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this year’s Walk a success:

• Our dedicated walkers and teams
• Our generous sponsors, whose support made this event possible
• The many volunteers who helped bring each location to life
• And the local municipal leaders and government representatives who joined us in showing their support

Your presence, leadership, and commitment help strengthen awareness and ensure people living with dementia feel supported and understood.

Together, we raised $353,000 across our region.

This is more than a fundraising milestone—it represents meaningful impact. These funds will directly support local programs and services, including education, counselling, support groups, and wellness opportunities for people living with dementia and care partners.

Because of this collective effort, more individuals and families will have access to the support they need—close to home—when they need it most.

Looking Ahead

Every step taken at this year’s Walk helps build stronger, more inclusive communities where people living with dementia can continue to live well.

To everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, or cheered from the sidelines—thank you. We are incredibly grateful for your support and proud of what we’ve achieved together.

We look forward to walking with you again next year.
