Communities & Healthy Aging
Cape Breton University is working with communities across Cape Breton to offer programs for people 55+, at risk or living with dementia, as well as their caregivers. Communities & Healthy Aging programs are offered in diverse communities across Cape Breton. With the input of local community members, bi-weekly programs have been created with respect for the cultural and geographical aspects of each community. Programs may include music, art, nutrition, exercise and social activities, all recognized as supporting healthy aging, and in particular, brain health.
Regular programming will get resume in September 2026. Programs are free and no registration is required.
