The funds are a "grow grant", which means the program will be starting in Exeter as well. Thompson said the Tril- lium Foundation is leading by being an example that other organizations in Ontario could follow. This type of programming is so important, and the knowledge gained from the families participating is appreciated, Thompson said. The program is designed to be a collaborative approach to physical fitness and brain stimulation for those living with dementia and their care partners. In takes place once a week for eight weeks. The first hour involves a fitness session, and the second hour is dedi- cated to therapeutic recrea- tion, like art and games. There are 12 other Alzhei- mer societies offering the program in communities across the province, as well as province -wide in British Columbia, said Jeanette Sears, public education coordinator with the Alzhei- mer Society of Huron County. There have been some promising results from par- ticipants of the Minds in Motion program. Endurance improved by 20 per cent and strength improved by 15 per cent, Sears said. Minds in Motion in Huron County has had 91 partici- pants, nine volunteers and four fitness instructors over the 14 month pilot project.
