This event aims to raise awareness of rare forms of dementia (e.g. frontotemporal dementia, posterior cortical atrophy, primary progressive aphasia) which occur in about a quarter of people living with dementia. These forms of dementia are normally young in onset (under 65 years old). A rare dementia diagnosis brings with it a set of unique and complex challenges, yet there is a widespread lack of understanding and a shortage of dedicated resources to support people affected by these conditions. This event also contributes to conversations around building on our current strengths to innovate various forms of support for people living with dementia and their families. This event is offered free and will be of interest to people living with dementia, family care partners, health and social care practitioners, students and researchers.

Our next Leeds & Grenville Branch online meeting will take place on Monday, June 8th at 7:00 pm, using Zoom technology (see invitation below).
With the success of our May meeting, we have decided to close out our spring season with a presentation about us!
What’s in the Leeds & Grenville Archives? will walk you through our space and tell you what resources we have for discovering more of your family history. We will also tell you about our digitization project, and let you know what we’re planning for our Branch website (leedsandgrenville.ogs.on.ca) in the coming months.
We hope you will join us and learn about the amazing collections we have in our Archives – land record books, family histories, local newspapers, obituaries, local history books, church records – and so much more! And we hope that we will be able to return to our Archives in the not-too-distant future!
