During the month of May, Behan Baker & Associates will be participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's. The Walk is the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s signature fundraiser and is a way to remember people who have passed away from dementia, to honour people living with the disease today, and to fundraise to create change in the lives of those affected.

This cause is close to our hearts and we’d love for you to join the Behan Baker & Associates team. This year, we will be walking the way we want throughout the whole month of May and will then join participants from across British Columbia virtually on Sunday, May 30, to celebrate our fundraising efforts. The money we raise will provide vital programs and services to people affected by dementia and enable research into the causes of and cures for the disease.
