Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant for the Champlain Dementia Network:

The Ontario Trillium Foundation is providing $85,000 funding to the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County over two years (2006 – 2008) to assist the Champlain Dementia Network in its efforts to improve access to caregiver support and ensure better co-ordination of service delivery to persons with dementia and their family members in Eastern Ontario.

In particular, the Champlain Dementia Network will develop and implement a web-based services mapping inventory for the Champlain region which will be easily accessible and user friendly to support persons with dementia and their caregivers. The Network will also complete a strategic planning process which will include the services mapping inventory, a gap analysis, the identification of key strategic directions and goals for one, two and five-year timeframes. It will also develop and implement action plans for several of the one year and two year goals.

In the course of undertaking the above, it will work in collaboration with other networks as appropriate.

Alzheimer Strategy Transition Fund, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care: The Champlain Dementia Network is grateful to the Alzheimer Strategy Transition Fund for a grant to support in part the development of the CDN web-based services mapping inventory including the development of the French infrastructure to ensure that the site provides bilingual access.

Community Foundation of Ottawa: The Champlain Dementia Network is appreciative that the Community Foundation of Ottawa awarded the Network with a grant for the French translation of the web-based services mapping project for dementia care in the Champlain region. This project will have far reaching benefits not only for those in the Champlain region but also to the French speaking families anywhere in Canada and beyond who may have relatives in the Champlain region.
