Join with the ALS Society of Manitoba AGM and Volunteer Appreciation on September 12th, 2024, at Canad Inns Polo Park. Volunteers are very special and the heart of what we are about in helping people with ALS and Motor Neuron diseases. Register by calling 1-204-831-1510 or by emailing  Hope@alsmb.ca  -- maybe you would like to volunteer with us if you aren’t already.

The“Tune-Up Café” is designed for individuals living with early to moderate stage dementia and their family or friend care partner. We also believe that those who are recovering from a stroke and interested in strengthening their speech/vocabulary, together with their care partner would find attending both helpful and enjoyable! We could just be a very good fit/resource for adult brain injury survivors – those with mild cognitive impairment and their care partner.

We are an inclusive and welcoming meeting place for singing, making social connections, and sipping on a cuppa!  Our meeting place is The Convalescent Home of Winnipeg, 276 Hugo Street North – close both to Corydon Ave. and Pembina Hwy.  We are also proud to be a community partner program with the MB Alzheimer’s Society.

Our “Fall” and ongoing sessions will run weekly, Tuesdays, from 6:15 to 8:00 p.m., starting on August 20. At this time, we do not have an end date in mind but will wait and see how the colder months impact attendance and whether we will need to take a hiatus.

Thanks in a very large part to the New Horizons for Seniors Program, there is currently no fee to attend. However, because space is limited, pre-registration is required by sending an email to tuneupcafe276@gmail.com to express interest.

Thorvaldson’s Care Centre has been a beacon of innovation and compassion in senior care for 65 years. Founded by Herman Thorvaldson, the center has continuously championed the independence and well-being of seniors, creating a true community of care that feels like an extended family. The dedication and progressive vision of Mr. Thorvaldson and his family have made an immeasurable impact on the lives of countless seniors and their care partners.

Thank you for inviting the Long Term and Continuing Care Association of Manitoba to this special event. We are honored to celebrate this remarkable milestone with you and look forward to many more years of partnership and shared commitment to supporting Manitoba’s seniors.
