CRADLE - The Canadian Institute for Seniors Care at Conestoga College has developed Canadian Remote Access for Dementia Learning Experiences (CRADLE), a free online course designed for care providers working in-home and community care, retirement homes, and long-term care facilities across Canada. The course, which can be completed in less than two hours, explores strategies to meaningfully connect and support individuals living with dementia and their families.

The LGBTQI2S Dignity Project - Older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer,
intersex, and two-spirit individuals grew up in a time when homosexuality and
the expression of transgender identity were viewed very negatively. Although
positive changes have occurred over time, individuals in this cohort often feel
they must hide their identity when entering assistive living and long-term care
facilities. The LGBTQI2S Dignity Project was developed to improve conditions
for these individuals by raising awareness of an issue that largely remains
invisible in the health care system.
Resources created through this
project include an interactive workbook and three film vignettes – Never
Married, It Still Hurts, and A Special Occasion – which addresses issues faced by
LGBTQI2S individuals living in assistive living and long-term care facilities.
