New Dementia Program at Killarney
In partnership with the Alzheimer Society, Killarney Community Centre
is offering a new session called Minds in Motion, which combines a
fitness class with social programs for people experiencing early
stages of memory loss.
Participants are welcome to attend on their
own or with a friend, family member or caregiver.
A certified fitness
instructor conducts the exercise section of the program while a
facilitator ensures participants are welcomed and assists with social
interaction and involvement in activities, guided by the needs and
interests of the participants.
The sessions take place Thursdays from
10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. now through March 26 in room 203 at the
community centre,
6260 Killarney St.
The cost is $58.50 per couple.
While the Killarney location is new, the program is ongoing at
Kitsilano, West End, Marpole-Oakridge and Hillcrest community
centres.
