In recognition of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, restaurants across Durham Region are participating in our Dining for Dementia fundraising campaign to support the nearly 12,000 people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in our community.

Visit one of the participating Dining for Dementia restaurants during the month of January and the restaurant will donate to the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region.

Funds raised from our Dining for Dementia fundraising campaign will help provide

• Counselling, support groups and social recreation programs for people living with dementia and their families.
• Education and training for health care professionals, local businesses, and the community to help make Durham Region more dementia-friendly.

Calling All Crafters!

The Oshawa Museum is hosting a craft circle for all ages on the last Sunday of each month. Bring your latest work in progress and hang out with museum volunteers and other like-minded crafters. This is the perfect chance to try something if you’re new to handicrafts or solve a mystery, like how to actually fix slipped stitches and how the heck to hold a crochet hook properly.

This is a free experience, but the Oshawa Museum always welcomes donations. Come to Guy House, the yellow museum building in Lakeview Park, between 12:30 and 3:30 pm.

Dates are subject to change due to holidays or museum events.
