Panel Organized by: Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Academy, Baycrest

Dr. Jane Rylett, Mr. Eliav Shaked, Dr. Saskia Sivananthan, Mr. Jim Mann, Dr. Nicole Anderson
The Alzheimer Society of Canada’s Landmark Study highlights that 1.7 million Canadians could be living with dementia by 2050, barring significant interventions. We will begin with rapid-fire presentations of our approaches to implementation of the first objective of the National Dementia Strategy – Prevent Dementia, followed by breakout sessions on: 1) community-based and online solutions to risk reduction; 2) accessing Canada's diversity in the implementation of the National Dementia Strategy; 3) supporting current and next generations of researchers; 4) making early detection accessible in primary care; and, 5) breaking the stigma of dementia. Discussions will be incorporated into a white paper.

L’étude phare de la Société Alzheimer du Canada met en évidence le fait que 1.7 million de Canadiens pourraient vivre avec une démence dés 2050, interdisant toute intervention significative. Nous commencerons par des présentations rapides sur nos approches concernant la mise en œuvre du premier objectif de la Stratégie nationale sur la démence – Prévenir la démence, suivies de séances de discussion en petits groupes sur: 1) solutions communautaires et en ligne pour réduire le risque; 2) accéder à la diversité du Canada dans la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie nationale sur la démence; 3) soutenir les chercheurs et la prochaine génération de chercheurs; 4) rendre accessible la détection précoce dans les soins de première ligne; et, 5) briser la stigmatisation autour de la démence. Les discussions seront intégrées dans un livre blanc.
