The Reality of Living
with Dementia
Dementia affects over 700,000 Canadians, impacting their ability to communicate, remember, and carry out daily activities. Despite this, people with dementia continue to feel emotions and crave connection
People with dementia still experience joy, love, and moments of clarity. All they need are different ways to express it
Your donation helps provide the tools to unlock these moments of joy and connection, reminding those with dementia that they are not alone.
How Art Brings Light
Into The Darkness
Art provides a powerful, non-verbal outlet for people with dementia to express themselves when words fail. Through creativity, they can self-express, reduce depression, and improve their mood.
When you give today, you’re not just donating; you’re giving a moment of self-expression and connection that can last a lifetime.

How the OMA Program Works
The OMA (Opening Minds through Art) program is designed to engage people with dementia through hands-on art-making in a strengths-focused environment, empowering them to express themselves creatively.
Trained facilitators guide participants in creating artwork, emphasizing imagination and individuality.
Our goal is to foster pride, connection, and a sense of accomplishment through art. By donating, you’re providing the resources needed for facilitators and art supplies, making these life-enhancing moments possible.

This Giving Tuesday, bring joy, dignity, and
connection to someone living with dementia.
Donate today, and help us raise $4,000 to provide OMA art sessions at Father Lacombe Care Centre and Providence Care Centre for
people with dementia.
As of 2024, it is estimated that over 700,000 people in Canada are living with dementia and that number is expected to increase in the future.
There’s no cure, but there is hope: Programs like OMA give people with dementia a chance to live with dignity and joy.
Your donation brings hope to those who need it most.
