Each kit is designed to help people who are in different stages of decline and include activities, games, puzzles and workbooks that encourage social connection and provide meaningful links to daily activities. The kits are inspired by two public libraries in Ontario, the Burlington Public Library and Halton Hills Public Library. In partnership with the local library, Northern Health and the Alzheimer Society of BC and using a $6,000 grant from the United Way of Northern BC the kits were created with three additional kits donated to the local branch of the Alzheimer Society. Last fall a dozen library staff members attended a day-long training session to learn more about dementia and memory loss. The training came from concepts found at Dementiability.com.
Ingrid grew up in the Pineview/Blackburn community. She was a loyal supporter of her community and could be found planning and encouraging all to participate in events such as the annual Pineview Snow Frolics. She sang in and directed community choirs, drove for Operation Red Nose and volunteered with friends at St. Vincent De Paul. Ingrid’s second home was the iconic Alternate Pub. When she wasn’t there either working or socializing, she would could be found moonlighting in a local band playing her saxophone, often offering a birthday tune or tribute. Prince George residents will remember Ingrid for her storytelling skills. She was the children’s programmer at the Prince George Library for many years and had a big fan following. She would dress up, sing and involve the crowd in her stories, which were for the young and old.
