World Alzheimer Day Marked Locally

The Alzheimer Society of the Kenora and Rainy River Districts is celebrating World Alzheimer Day by conducting a number of workshops on dementia.

The Virtual Dementia tour simulates what its like to have an illness like Alzheimers.

Ashley Trent is a spokesperson for the local Alzheimer Society and says the virtual dementia tour is a real eye-opener.

The Virtual Dementia tour takes about 15 minutes to complete and will be offered from 10 to 3 today at the Comfort Inn.
