Local Community

What is a Memory Café? A Memory Café is a safe, inclusive and welcoming space. People living with any stage of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, their care partners and their community come together in a stigma-free environment to socialize, learn and have fun. A Memory Café is typically a two-hour program that offers opportunities for learning, connections and joy. A Memory Café often includes guest speakers or performers, fun activities and snacks. The Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick is working to offer Memory Cafés throughout New Brunswick.
