Last October, the Alzheimer Society of Canada launched the first Canadian Charter of Rights for People with Dementia. This Charter was developed in collaboration with people living with a neurocognitive disorder. It described seven rights. It aims to help people living with dementia to better understand and defend their rights. It is also a guide for health and social service professionals and a framework for those responsible for developing national health policies.

To learn more about the background that led to the development of this Charter and its content, visit the Alzheimer Society of Canada website.
