À propos Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia

The Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia (ASNS) is the leading not-for-profit health organization working to improve the quality of life for Nova Scotians affected by Alzheimer's disease or other dementias and advance the search for the cause and cure. Since 1983, ASNS has been providing help for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, and their caregivers - and that help comes in many ways. ASNS is part of the Alzheimer Society Federation (the Federation), a nation-wide federation of 11 partners made up of 10 provincial societies and the Alzheimer Society of Canada (ASC).

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease. Over 560,000 Canadians currently have Alzheimer's disease, and according to experts this number will triple to 2.3 million Canadians by 2031. In our province alone, over 17,000 Nova Scotians live with the disease.

Forget Me Not Symbol

ASNS uses the Forget Me Not flower as a symbol to represent memory loss, one of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. It is also a reminder to remember people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and their caregivers. The three flowers in the symbol represent the person with dementia, the caregiver, and the Alzheimer Society.
