Terrace residents that are living with dementia are being encouraged to go public in an effort to tackle the ongoing discrimination they experience in their day-to-day lives.
A nation-wide campaign, I live with dementia. Let me help you understand. Launched on Monday as part of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

This campaign gives a voice to Canadians living with dementia who are frustrated by the constant assumptions and misinformation with the disease.
