On to our next story, it was a busy day at westford nursing home in port elgin, new brunswick with a walk, market and barbecue all on the itinerary and as ctv's alanna pickrell shows us, the packed schedule had multiple benefits. >> Reporter: under the sunshine, residents from westford nursing home laced up for this year's walk for alzheimer's. >> We do have a number of younger residents here who have been diagnosed with alzheimer's so as far as them giving back, a lot of them are giving back to themselves. >> Reporter: they took on the approximate 500 metre track to raise awareness. >> I think it's important to support alzheimer's research because there is a history of alzheimer's and dementia in my family. >> Well, I was a nurse, so I like helping people. >> Reporter: this is the first year since covid the home was able to invite family, friends and the community to be a part of it. And they took it one step farther with activities happening throughout the day including a barbecue, yard sale and market. All of which raise money for the residents who call westford home. >> This is a way that we can have our market, take our table fee that we would normally pay and just donate it to the nursing home. >> We do have budgets that are given to us that cover their nursing needs, their physical needs, and those types of things. When it comes to community needs and making connections in their communities, those things aren't part of what we are budgeted for. >> Reporter: and just to give an example of where that money has been used in the past -- >> We go and have an ice cream cone. Which I love. >> Reporter: two separate monetary goals were set for the event. $250 for the alzheimer's society of new brunswick and a thousand dollars to go back to the nursing home itself. While the total haven't been counted yet, the biggest goal of the day, community connection, was accomplished tenfold. >> It's just wonderful to see the smiles we had today. >> Reporter: alanna pickrell, ctv news, port elgin, new brunswick. >> Thank you, alanna. And kalin, it looks like they

had a gorgeous day. >> It does, doesn't it. It was a close call because just within the last hour near the elgin area, there was a little pop-up shower, a small thunderstorm that moved through. They are more widespread for other areas of new brunswick, we'll catch up on those after the break. In the meantime, let's take a look at this.
