The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba (ASM) has documented some 19,600 Manitobans with some form of dementia, and that number is on the rise.  They expect the number of Manitobans diagnosed to be close to double, approximately 39,000 by the year 2050.  

As the large population of Baby Boomers are in or are nearing their senior years this will affect the need for more supports.   Baby Boomers are defined as those born between 1946 and 1964.  Now in 2024, this demographic of the population includes everyone over the age of 60. By 2050 that number will have increased substantially.

The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba is encouraging those who have a passion for those struggling with dementia care and brain health to join their Board of Directors.

Twelve members make up the ASM Board, and each year there are 1-3 members who have reached their term.  There will be one position coming open at the end of May.

CEO, Erin Crawford, says they are accepting applications from Manitobans with diverse backgrounds and experience.

Manitoba RCMP is warning the public about interac e-transfer scams that are becoming more prevalent.

In these instances, the victim receives an email which appears to be from someone trying to send them an interac e-transfer. At first glance it appears legitimate and when the victim clicks on the link and enters in their banking credentials, the scammers are able to steal the banking login information. This gives the scammers access to the account which allows them to withdraw large sums of money.
