Research Breakfasts

Every January, the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia hosts a Research Breakfast in Halifax and Sydney. The Alzheimer Research Breakfast engages 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 Breakfasts profile local researchers/research in our communities and enables the Society to speak to a broad audience on the programs and services that are available in the province. All proceeds from the Research Breakfasts go directly towards research in all aspects of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.

The Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia is committed to promoting excellence in national and local research that will advance scientific and clinical knowledge and improve the quality of life of both those with the disease and their caregivers.

The Research Breakfast in Sydney will take place on Wednesday, January 25, with the theme of "Let's Face It: The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment". Dr.Laith Shimon will be our guest speaker. Tickets can be purchased here.

The Research Breakfast in Halifax will take place on Thursday, January 26, and the theme is "Dementia: Let's Face It". Our guest speakers will be Dr. Paige Moorhouse and Maria Franks. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.
