“You challenge me, and I then challenge you… but I have learned so much.”
@JimMannBC reflected on intergenerational research, meaningful collaboration, and what he continues to learn from working alongside students at the IDEA Lab.

Thank you @keithbaldrey for wearing your Dementia tie tonight. @jimmannbc and Alice appreciate it.
Earlier this week at the Jack Webster Awards for excellence in journalism, @KeithBaldrey received the Bruce Hutchison Lifetime Achievement Award—congratulations. For this special occasion Alice & I were so happy to see Keith wearing the Alzheimer’s forget-me-not tie. Thanks Keith
Time sure flies! Four years ago today, Sept. 27, 2021, the flippingstigma.com toolkit was launched. Although I don’t have the latest access numbers or locations, I do know it continues to hold its place amongst reliable and educational sites. I’m proud of the research we did
The Dementia Collective, Episode 3 podcast for which I was interviewed has been released. YouTube Link: lnkd.in/g7n23rKV . Andrew Karesa is a great interviewer & asked good questions. I hope there are helpful nuggets of info & u hear a little insight on living w/ dementia.
In today’s Vancouver Sun newspaper is an op-ed from Dr. Wendy Levinson entitled, “There’s more to LTC than adding beds”, that is worth a read. She ended with “Prioritizing quality alongside quantity is the only way to deliver not just more care, but better care.”

Words matter in dementia care. Terms like “sufferer” or “demented” can stigmatise, stripping away dignity. Let’s use person-centered language to honour individuals, not define them by disease.

Returning home from a walk in Surrey, Canada yesterday (last day of Feb) I saw these daffodils getting ready to show their beauty. I’m ready.
I’ve just bought my ticket for the Alzheimer Society of BC’s @AlzheimerBC Breakfast to Remember (BreakfastToRemember.ca), March 6th at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, Vancouver. Looking forward to renewing acquaintances and meeting new supporters of the Society.
