We are proud to share a significant milestone for Alzheimer Society Peel.
ASP has earned our fifth Three-Year Accreditation from CARF International—the highest level possible—effective September 26, 2025, through May 31, 2028.

It is a powerful affirmation of Alzheimer Society Peel’s dedication to improving the quality of life for people living with dementia and their care partners. CARF’s rigorous review confirmed a strong and consistent pattern of conformance to international standards—reflected in our services, our skilled and compassionate personnel, and our commitment to documentation and continuous improvement.

Brunel-Meadowvale: One Community, REIMAGINED for the future.
Since 2001, the Meadowvale Adult Day Program has provided a genuine community environment, offering meaningful activities that are tailored to our clients’ interests in a safe and welcoming setting.
But as demand for our programs grows, Meadowvale Adult Day Program has outgrown its current space.
To meet the needs of today — and tomorrow — Alzheimer Society Peel is excited to announce a major renovation project at our Brunel location. This newly expanded site will become the unified home for both our Brunel and Meadowvale Adult Day Programs, offering enhanced care, comfort, and connection under one roof.
The transformed space will feature:
- Multiple bright, inviting and purpose-built program spaces
- Quiet rooms for rest and reflection
- A secure walking path and therapeutic gardens
- A fully renovated kitchen and restorative dining room
Our goal is to welcome clients into this revitalized space by late 2025 — with minimal disruption to current Brunel clients.
IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s 2025
The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in Peel was re-imagined this year to include a carnival and entertainment. The reimagined walk combined the traditional elements of our charity walk with a more dynamic, inclusive, and enjoyable experience for participants of all ages. The event was hosted at Erin Mills Town Centre, providing the event and our sponsors with high visibility and foot traffic.
While maintaining the walk’s core fundraising purpose, the added post-walk engagement pieces deepen the impact by highlighting the services and stories supported by the funds raised. The addition of the carnival and entertainment provided a celebration of Hope and Progress to advance care, support and awareness for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia and their CarePartners.
The event raised over $100,000 and attracted more than 1,200 attendees. Thank you to our walkers, attendees, donors, sponsors, volunteers and staff who helped make this a memorable event! We could not have done it without you!
Project Lantern
Project Lantern represents a groundbreaking partnership between Alzheimer Society Peel (ASP) and Peel Regional Police, combining expertise in dementia care with law enforcement to enhance community safety. This initiative focuses on protecting individuals living with Alzheimer’s and dementia who may be at risk of wandering or unsafe situations, ensuring they are supported with dignity and care. Together, we are developing tailored training for officers and first responders to better recognize, communicate with, and assist individuals with dementia.
The program includes educational outreach and promoting tools like identification kits and tracking technology, empowering families and caregivers to prevent potential crises. Project Lantern showcases how partnerships between community organizations and law enforcement can address complex societal challenges through shared resources, expertise, and a unified mission. This partnership reflects our commitment to creating a community where persons living with dementia feel safe, supported, and included.
