"Seniors and Youth connections were accomplished in both project areas from the Youth Blues Camp/Studio and the Music Revival Project with Long Term Care with seniors affected with Dementia/Alzheimer’s with assigned wireless blue tooth headphones and blue tooth media players that contain the music genre favorites and even family recordings of singing, instrument playing etc. There has been a consent form sent to all the families of residents who can benefit from the Music Revival Program. Resident affected without family will also be included on recommendation of staff of potential music for them.  Live events 2023 are being scheduled at the LTC homes with the youth who benefited from the blues camp in Kitchener Waterloo and are residents in the Haliburton Highland with the equipment purchased through the grant.(Note: a delay in some of the equipment arriving was due to Covid backlog and was picked up Feb  2023.
