Healthy Living Awards

Overview

The Healthy Living Awards is an annual event that promotes community health by celebrating organizations and individuals who have made a difference in encouraging healthy, active living across Manitoba.

Since 1999, when it was first held, the event has recognized the contributions of 49 Manitoba individuals, businesses, corporations, associations, or organizations who have contributed to healthy living across the province. It has raised close to $300,000 to help provide financial sustainability for the Centre.

The Awards recognize accomplishments by individuals and organizations in five categories: youth (12-18 years of age), individuals (19 and up), businesses or corporations, organizations (paid staff), and groups (volunteers). The “youth” category, known as the Premier’s Healthy Living Award for Youth, was added in 2007 through a partnership with the Province of Manitoba.

The Awards are held on an evening in early to mid-April each year, featuring a sponsor reception, general reception, silent auction, dinner, introduction of the nominees, announcements of the recipients, and a guest speaker.
