The decisions made by our provincial elected officials have deeply personal impacts on the lives of Ontarians living with dementia and those who care for them. At the Alzheimer Society of Ontario, we regularly hear from those who want to influence such decisions and raise awareness to help create positive change. Our advocacy platform serves as a hub to engage, activate and mobilize a network of community advocates who are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by dementia. Each month, we will engage supporters in campaigns focused on addressing dementia-related issues. Together, we can raise awareness, promote understanding and advocate for better care and support for Ontarians living with dementia and their care partners.
This grassroots advocacy course is designed to turn concerned members of the public into effective advocates to help build a more dementia friendly Ontario. Through four interactive modules, participants will explore how government policy affects dementia care, and develop skills to influence such policies and drive change at the provincial level.
