There are approximately 70,000 British Columbians living with dementia, and this number is growing. For every person

living with dementia, there are many more people affected, including family, friends, co-workers and other members

of their communities. Our vision is of a world without Alzheimer¡¯s disease and other dementias and that world begins

with a more dementia-friendly society, where people affected by dementia are acknowledged, supported, and

included. When you work for the Alzheimer Society of B.C., you help us realize that vision by connecting more British

Columbians to the support and education they need at any point on their dementia journey. You help us challenge

stigma and change the future for people affected by dementia. You help us show people affected by dementia that

they¡¯re not alone.

Equity and diversity and inclusion are essential to societal change and healthy workplaces. An open and diverse

community fosters the inclusion of voices that have historically been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage

applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human

Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief,

religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.
