We support a renewed commitment to a comprehensive, person-centred dementia strategy: #MaketheConnection between strong community services, aging in place of choice, better outcomes, and lower costs. #VoteDementia
89% of Ontarians want their government to do more to help keep seniors living at home. A renewed Ontario Dementia Strategy will help do just that.

Family members & friends often ask how the care recipient is doing but they don’t always think to ask how the caregiver is doing. Caregivers told us that a simple phone call can make a big difference. If you know a caregiver, give them a call on November 13, for Kindness Day.

Across generations, Canadians have dedicated their lives to preserve peace. To honour those who have served and continue to serve, we pause for 2 minutes of silence. Make November 11 the most unforgettable day of the year. #CanadaRemembers
