Empowering dementia-friendly communities locally

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—The Empowering Dementia-Friendly Communities Project is a new initiative established to promote the awareness and development of dementia-friendly communities in Hamilton and Haldimand.

The project is engaging persons living with dementia, care partners, and the community to inform community specific recommendations and action plans and has received a generous contribution from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Dementia Community Investment Fund.

The project is seeking input from persons living with dementia in Hamilton and Haldimand and care partners to inform the next steps in creating dementia-friendly communities.

Running until November 6, persons living with dementia and care partners are encouraged to participate in the survey by going to surveymonkey.com/r/HCOA_Survey.
