Pr Said Mekari‘s research project on the effects of physical activity on the brain in the elderly population continues. This study offers a 10-week community-based physical activity and cognitive exercise program to French-speaking minority participants living in rural areas. The IMPACTS Lab study team, consisting of Isadora Quirion, Pierre FAIVRE and Shirko Ahmadi, continues to collect and analyze data. IMPACTS Lab would like to thank the Village of Memramcook, the Abbey-Landry School for their support, and of course all the study participants.
