Community Living Victoria presents Spirit Unforgettable at Cinecenta on October 5th at 7 pm!
Spirit Unforgettable is the powerful, devastating and inspiring story of the iconic Canadian rock band Spirit of the West, and their charismatic frontman John Mann who, in 2014, at the age of 51, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's disease. CLV has a personal connection with the band and also a connection to the reality of Alzheimer's and Dementia for the individuals we serve. Proceeds from this screening will go to CLV to support those individuals.
