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.
Tomorrow, September 30, marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day.
Members of the DEN team will be joining the community at the City of Hamilton’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation gathering at West Harbour James Street Plaza.
The day provides an opportunity to honour Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and support the Indigenous families and communities who continue to live with the impacts of the residential school system.
The Sunrise Ceremony begins at 7:00 a.m., followed by the community event from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
📍 West Harbour James Street Plaza
3 Guise Street, Hamilton
We encourage members of our network who are able to attend to join us in listening, learning, reflecting, and honouring the experiences of Indigenous communities on Turtle Island.
