Thank you to everyone who came out for our 16th annual event for people living with dementia in Dartmouth! Our theme this year was all about finding meaningful connections in life. Our speakers shared their lived experiences and the ways that they find meaning on the dementia journey. Paige shared the joy of music, and Catherine from Hike Nova Scotia took us on a walk through Shubie park.

It was a great time with many connections made. 💙
