Virtual Dementia Tour Planned


The Alzheimer's Society of Kenora-Rainy River is giving area residents an opportunity to experience what it may be like to live with the dementia.

Eleanor Barron, public education coordinator, says they're working with the Rainycrest Family Council in presenting a virtual dementia tour.

Participants will wear special equipment and attempt to carry out a variety of simple tasks.

To register for next Wednesday's event at the Super 8 in Fort Frances you're asked to contact Barron via e-mail eleanor@alzheimerkrr.com or the Society's office in Kenora 1-800-682-0245.
