Presentation Summary

Current research, predicted numbers over the next few decades, and advances in treating Alzheimer's disease and dementia will be discussed, in addition to the importance of Canada-wide Alzheimer societies and services.

About the Speakers

Fred Keating, Fred Keating Media

Fred Keating is known as “Canada’s Massacre of Ceremonies”. He became an annual CLRA companion and colleague over a number of years and is returning to ensure safety and security at our 50^th anniversary event in 2025. Fred is a familiar face at many national and international events and known for stickhandling potential glitches from the podium with humour. And embarrassment.

He is also no stranger to serious discussions, panel moderation, and interviews with keynote speakers and subject specialists.

Fred has also been active in broadcast television and film. More information on his adventures in those realms can be found at www.imdb.com. After serving as founder and president of Lindisfarne Productions Inc. (a corporate video venture) in Edmonton from 1982 to 2022, Fred reinvented himself as Fred Keating Media in BC. So far, so good!

He was diagnosed with dementia over a year ago. And doesn’t care who knows it.

Kim McKercher, Alzheimer Society of B.C.

Kim joined the Alzheimer Society of B.C. in September 2013 and is currently the Provincial Coordinator, Lived Experience. Kim is extremely passionate about elevating the voices of people with lived experience of dementia and is responsible for implementing the Society’s lived experience framework and leading the engagement of people living with dementia and family caregivers in all aspects of the Society’s work. Prior to this work Kim spent eight years as a Support & Education Coordinator and worked in long-term care. She has a Master of Arts degree in Gerontology from Simon Fraser University.
