Every January, the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia hosts a Research Breakfast in Halifax, Sydney and new this year, the Annapolis Valley. The Alzheimer Research Breakfasts engage individuals, physicians, nursing home employees, home care agencies and businesses in education on current research in Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It’s an event that gives all guests the opportunity to support research and promote awareness in an effort to fight this disease.

The Sydney Research Breakfast will be held on Wednesday, January 30 at the Membertou Trade & Convention Centre from 7:15 to 9:00 a.m. The theme this year is Perspectives on Dementia Prevention and the guest speakers are Dr. Kenneth Rockwood, Geriatrician, Professor and Director of Geriatric Medicine Research and Dr. Monika Dutt, Medical Officer of Health for Cape Breton District Health Authority. Dr. Rockwood will present via video on his research involving non-traditional risk factors that combine to predict Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
