The University of Northern British Columbia is partnering with two southern universities to create more dementia friendly neighborhoods.
UNBC is collaborating with the University of BC and Simon Fraser University to make it easier for people suffering from dementia along with their caregivers to be active parts of their community.
$715,801 in funding will be provided to the universities by the Public Health Agency of Canada to support their research.
This research project will be going by the name Developing Supportive Neighbourhood-Built Environment to Foster Mobility, Engagement and Social Participation among Community-Dwelling Adults Living with Dementia or DemSCAPE for short.
