We are very saddened to learn of the recent passing of local hockey legend Vince Malette. Vince's family worked tirelessly on their Vince Malette Faceoff to End Alzheimer's Golf Tournament which raised money for the development of the Vince Malette Functional Fitness Program at Carefor.

This program offered exercise and support to people living with dementia and to their families to help maintain functionality in response to this debilitating disease.

Our thoughts are with Joana and the Malette family during this difficult time.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

January is Alzheimer Awareness Month and 2026 is the UN Year of the Volunteer so it's a perfect time to talk about the cognitive benefits of volunteering. In our January blog we review how giving to others can also give back to you.

Studies show that volunteering can slow cognitive decline in seniors. Right now is a perfect time to do some good for yourself and others.
