You guys are awesome thank you 💙

There's no holding back here!
The recent Junior Tough Guy and Gal Event in Hamilton. ✨ These events are made all the more amazing when you stop to think 2 years ago (in the distant covid past) that our young people were unable to attend these events. All power to our young!

Today is World Alzheimer's Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer's disease and dementia. 🌏🤗 While dementia changes your relationship with your loved one, it doesn't diminish the very real and beautiful connection you can still have with them. 🥰
