Translink Awarenes-Building Placards

       Thanks to an Implementation Fund grant from the Building Capacity for Meaningful Participation by People Living with Dementia project, the Hub’s Council is placing 210 awareness-building placards inside TransLink buses in Metro Vancouver this summer. The three different designs developed by Building Capacity project team members Samantha Pineda Sierra and Heather Neale Furneaux, quote Action Committee members with lived experience from a special initiative known as The Flipping Stigma Project.

These members’ comments reflect on what it feels like to be discriminated against because of their dementia. The campaign aims to increase awareness and encourage open and respectful conversations about living with dementia. 

 

Even if you don’t travel on public buses, you will want to take a look HERE at these engaging placards.
