Ageing is an inevitable fact of life and dementia will become part of many of our journeys through ageing. The Atrium: A Bethany Rotary Partnership is a dynamic, collaborative project spearheaded by Rotary Clubs within District 5360 that identifies and addresses the major gap in seniors care that currently exists between what is being done and what needs to be done. Through this partnership to raise $1 000 000 for an Atrium in the new Bethany Riverview care facility and the larger conversation around senior care, we are promoting healthy ageing and contributing to a new way of providing support and care to seniors when they need it. The Atrium: A Bethany-Rotary Partnership is the first step of a collective response to one of the most urgent social, health and economic issues of our time.
 
The Atrium Steering Committee is composed of representatives from Rotary and  Bethany Care Society and we have ambassadors promoting the project in the following Rotary clubs in Calgary: Downtown, West, South, North, Heritage, Fish Creek, Olympic, and Centennial.  We have currently raised $271,000 towards our $1,000,000 goal and are looking forward to meeting with interested Clubs in the District who would like to learn more and possibly be a part of this important initiative.
 
Please contact the Steering Committee Chair, Dr. Tony Knight, by email if you would like further information or are interested in having us present to your Club!
