2024 Impact Report
Over the past year, the Dementia Empowerment Network has grown from an idea into a vibrant network of 11 empowerment groups, supported seven community-led projects with seed grants, hosted over 19 public events, and built partnerships with 13 organizations. Our team has reached 15,959 people through events, media, presentations, and resources. You can check out our impact report below.
We are excited to be joining the Seniors Kick-off Information and Wellness Fair tomorrow! Come find us at our booth from 10 am to 3 pm at Michelangelo Events and Conference Centre, 1555 Upper Ottawa Street. It is a free event with no registration needed, and lunch is available for the first 500 guests.
We would love to see you there.

June 6th is National Blue Jean Jacket Day.
We remember Indigenous men and boys whose lives were taken and those who remain missing. Their lives mattered. Their stories matter.
We also recognize the families, friends, and communities who continue to carry grief, search for answers, and keep the memories of their loved ones alive.
At the DEN, we join others across Canada in remembering those who are no longer here and standing with those who continue to mourn their loss.
We invite you to wear a blue jean jacket today as a sign of remembrance.
