Niverville Services to Seniors will host the annual Walk for Alzheimer’s on June 13, starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Golden Friendship Centre. The walk will be followed by a $5 barbecue lunch and entertainment provided by Wildflower. Wildflower is comprised of local artists Melanie Bergen, Wade Kehler, and Carisa Klassen.
The event’s guest speaker is Leona Doerksen, the regional coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba. The walk is sponsored by Ben Sawatzky Electric and Subway.
The Walk for Alzheimer’s is held in communities all over the province, and helps to bring awareness to the debilitating illness. Last year’s Niverville walk drew more than 50 marchers, including staff from the Heritage Life Personal Care Home and students from the local high school.
