The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County is planning the creation of a reminiscing garden on the grounds of the Galilee Centre at the foot of John Street in Arnprior, and they are planning a combination celebration-work party for this Sunday.
Catharina Van Es of the Dementia Society explains.
A reminiscing garden is a place that people of all ages can enjoy, but can be especially calming for those with dementia.
Van Es gives us an outline of Sunday’s activities.
The Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County spokesperson says you’ll be in good company.
The event is a part of the Dementia Society’s Stronger Together campaign to raise awareness for people living with dementia and their caregivers.
Grow not just daisies, but your knowledge on Sunday the 12th.
