SCENE AROUND BAYCREST
As a global leader in brain health and aging, Baycrest is committed to creating a world where every older adult
enjoys a life of purpose, inspiration and fulfilment. This past spring and summer, with the continued support
of our generous donors, we engaged with our community through a number of exciting new and returning
events. Some of the highlights included the Scotiabank Pro-Am for Alzheimer's in support of Baycrest, a tour
of Metalworks recording studio, Baycrest's first Teen Takeover volunteer event, the second annual Mattamy
Homes Bike for Brain Health, and Generation Next's 1970s Decade Dance: "Studio 54," among others. For more
