• WHY?
• There are over 550,000 Canadians living with dementia and this number will double by 2030
• 60% of people with Alzheimer's will wander at least once during their disease.  Wandering is common as the disease progresses;
• Silver Alert is a public notification system to quickly help find seniors who wander because of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias;
• A Silver Alert would provide information to media outlets and activate an emergency alert system through law enforcement agencies; and
• The Provinces of Alberta and Manitoba have established a Silver Alert, through an amendment to their Missing Persons Amendment Act
