Calgary’s First Dementia-Friendly Garden Opens | Calgary News

Calgary is set to unveil Canada’s first public garden built specifically for people living with dementia and their caregivers — the Martin Family Legacy Garden in Southview Park. Designed for safety, accessibility, and sensory engagement, it features color-coded paths, shaded seating, and a multigenerational playground. Developed with input from dementia experts and lived experience, the garden aims to empower individuals with dementia while easing caregiver burdens. Funded by over 70 donors and nearing completion after a 2025 construction start, it’s scheduled to open on World Alzheimer’s Day — and will be accessible to the public even before the official ribbon-cutting.
