What an unforgettable evening!
On Saturday, November 14, more than 350 guests gathered at Le Crystal for Hope for Dementia’s Annual Fundraising Gala 2026. It was an evening filled with music, inspiring speeches, elegant dining and meaningful networking, all united by a shared commitment to making a difference.
We were honoured to welcome distinguished dignitaries and representatives from the public, private and social sectors, alongside our dedicated volunteers, supporters and friends.
A special thank you to our distinguished guests and speakers:
- Emmanuella Lambropoulos, Federal Member of Parliament for Saint-Laurent
- Valérie Assouline, Députée de Saint-Laurent
- Alan DeSousa, Mayor of Saint-Laurent
- Varsha Bhat, Founder of the Aging with Dignity Podcast
- Dr. Sylvie Belleville, Full Professor at Université de Montréal and world-renowned researcher, who delivered an inspiring keynote address.
Their presence, insights and words of encouragement reinforced the importance of Hope for Dementia’s mission: raising awareness, promoting dementia prevention and reducing dementia risk, particularly among vulnerable seniors.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to everyone who attended, supported, volunteered, sponsored and contributed to making this gala such a success.
Together, we are building greater awareness, strengthening communities and bringing hope to the fight against dementia.
Because prevention matters. Because brain health matters. And because there is always hope. 💜
