Lisa Loiselle speaks with Laura Middleton and Bill Heibein about the DREAM (Dementia Resources on eating, activity, and meaningful inclusion) project. Laura Middleton is an Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo whose work looks at the role of physical activity and other lifestyle strategies like healthy eating, and social engagement in promoting the well-being of people living with dementia, as well as reducing the risk of dementia..
Bill Heibein has lived with a diagnosis of dementia for 24 years. He lives near Thunder Bay and owns and operates a farm. He has been involved in many research projects with various universities and researchers. Bill decided to get involved in the DREAM project because of his interest in items like physical activity. Bill believes that physical activity is the reason he continues to live well with dementia.
