This 3 day conference acted as a workshop for health and social care providers, people living with dementia, care partners, and seniors in the region of Northwestern Ontario that aimed to enhance comfort and skills in using arts programming to increase awareness of the benefits of the creative arts for people living with dementia and/or frailty, and to provide opportunities to share local innovative and promising practices. 

The "Living Well with Dementia: Creating Dialogues of Hope" conference was a regional conference held as an opportunity for people with dementia and their care partners to share and learn about living with hope amidst dementia, challenging stigma, and connecting with others. The conference was held in Thunder Bay, Ontario with over 100 attendees. It was planned and hosted by the North West Dementia Working Group.

Cycling Without Age Vancouver, in association with Kitsilano Neighbourhood House and the Westside Seniors Hub, are hosting safe and scenic trishaw rides along the Arbutus Greenway on September 28th from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Trishaws are three-wheeled cycles where you sit in the front and experienced pilots pedal you from behind.  Our mission is to break the elderly free from social isolation. Make them smile. Make new memories. And let them be part of society again and thereby renew their appetite for life itself. We give them the right to wind in their hair. Cycling Without Age is based on generosity and kindness.

In 2019 Hub Council began compiling resources of potential value to Hub Partner Organizations that we encountered as we attended events and made community contacts. The MailChimp illustrated newsletters were sent out bimonthly to Hub Partners.

Hub Council convened a working group of representatives from Partner Organizations to discuss and decide upon actions to be taken after a presentation about Alzheimer cafés and other dementia-friendly initiatives. At two meetings, some Guiding Principles were drafted.
