Discover. Explore. Get Involved. is an initiative that involves partnering with community organizations. Through these partnerships, people with dementia have opportunities to get out and participate in engaging and stimulating activities with their family members and friends. Organizations open their doors to provide programs offering social, creative, educational and active living components.

One of the goals is to encourage organizations to provide accessible and supportive environments for people with dementia and their care partners. These are places in which everyone is included and respected.

Dalnavert Museum Dementia-Friendly Tours

Come to the Dalnavert Museum for their monthly dementia-friendly tours! This program allows people living with early to moderate symptoms of dementia and their care partners to step back in time and explore the historic house and its collection.

After your tour of the museum, join them for tea and coffee and a closer look at some artifacts.

Please note: The upper floors of the museum are only accessible by stairs. If stairs pose a barrier, there will be the option of exploring the upper floors of the house with a tour guide in the Visitors’ Centre through our virtual tour. Folding cane-seats can be borrowed free of charge during your visit and there will be seating available throughout the museum.

Monthly Program
Dalnavert Museum, 61 Carlton St, Winnipeg
The last Saturday of every month, 10 – 11:30 am

Please note: this program will pause for August and resume in September 2025.

Tales Along the Trail

Tales Along the Trail is a welcoming outdoor experience designed for individuals living with early to moderate signs of dementia and their care partners. This program offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature in a relaxed and supportive environment. Guided by an experienced naturalist, you’ll explore the serene pathways of FortWhyte, where the beauty of summer comes alive.

Each session features a gentle walk through the forest, with mindful stops to engage the senses and fully appreciate the sights, sounds and smells of nature. After the walk, participants are invited to gather in a cozy indoor space to share reflections, stories and enjoy a light snack together.

Come join us for a peaceful, uplifting experience in nature – where every moment is an opportunity to connect, explore, and savour the world around us.
