Influencing

In May 2022, Hope for Dementia launched a petition to the Government of Québec to declare dementia prevention a health care priority and to adopt strategies to:
• Reduce avoidable diagnoses by promoting educational programs and early detection;
• Decelerate the risks and symptoms through the deployment of a standardized cognitive test targeting at-risk groups;
• Reverse the symptoms of mild cognitive dementia by providing access to clinical trials financed by a dedicated public/private sector fund.
In addition, the petition recommends the training of medical personnel on how to screen the symptoms and better manage dementia diagnoses.

On November 25, 2021, launched a petition to Canada’s Federal Minister of Health, to make dementia prevention a national healthcare priority.

Since 2020, contributed to the Anti-Black Racism Working Group of the Diocese of Montreal. Presentation at the Diocesan Synod in November 2020 and prepared a submission to the Primate of the Anglican Church in Canada.
