SCENE AROUND BAYCREST
With world-leading research, innovation, care and education, Baycrest is committed to defeating dementia
and giving everyone the tools they need to make their later years the best years of their lives. Thanks to the
ongoing generosity of our community of supporters we're able to stay connected to our donors and broader
community through in-person and virtual hybrid events, like Humour Me, and through virtual engagements like
our educational webinars, Women Friends of Baycrest and Baycrest Buddies. We also invested in new technology
and studio equipment to improve the quality and delivery of our virtual programs like Baycrest@Home. Most
importantly, we continue to recognize the dedication and commitment of our staff and volunteers with ongoing
appreciation events. For more information, please visit baycrestfoundation.org/events
