Dementia Strategy Needed Says Director

Thunder Bay is now one of over the one-hundred Ontario communities making a push for the Federal Government to put a national dementia strategy in place. City councillors voted on Monday to support the push.   Allison Denton is Executive Director of the Alzheimer Society of Thunder Bay and says having a strategy in place would mean a more focused approach when treating those with dementia.   She notes that in a recent survey 83-percent of Canadian said they want a national strategy put in place.
