National Volunteer Week 2024

We are joining organizations across Canada to celebrate the 24 million volunteers who make a difference in communities across the country. Learn about the volunteers who change the experience for people affected by dementia at the Alzheimer Society of B.C.

April 14 - 20, 2024 is National Volunteer Week and the theme is "Every moment matters." As an organization that was started by volunteers, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. is proud to celebrate every volunteer and their unique contribution to improve the lives of people on the dementia journey. With the number of British Columbians living with dementia rising, we need the support of volunteers more than ever.

Join us as we celebrate and say thank you to the volunteers who help change the experience for people affected by dementia.

This year, we’re showcasing different ways you can support people affected by the disease as a volunteer with the Alzheimer Society:
