January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month


Local restaurants are coming together to support Dining For Dementia! This initiative aims to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and work towards a community where individuals living with dementia are embraced and supported.


Throughout January, participating restaurants will donate a portion of their proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Society of Durham Region (ASDR) to fund vital programs and services for people living with dementia, as well as their caregivers and families. By dining out this month, you’re not only enjoying a great meal, but also helping make a difference!


When you dine, let the restaurant know by sharing your experience and tagging us with #DiningforDementia. To see the list of participating restaurants visit www.diningfordementia.ca
