“Each of our award winners has worked tirelessly to help build stronger schools and stronger communities,” said Selinger. “Their remarkable dedication and achievements are an inspiration to their peers and to all Manitobans.”
This year’s recipients of healthy living awards are:
“These young Manitobans are making a difference in many ways, from the promotion of physical activity, healthy eating and prevention of chronic disease, to helping prevent bullying, addictions and gang participation,” said Rondeau. “Today, we are proud to honour their passion, creativity and determination.”
A partnership of Manitoba’s Healthy Schools Initiative and MB4Youth, the Premier’s Healthy Living Award for Youth builds on the existing Manitoba Youth Leadership Scholarship Program that recognizes Grade 12 students who have engaged in meaningful volunteer activities that promote leadership, citizenship and healthy living in their schools and communities, Selinger said.
Since its inception, the Premier’s Healthy Living Award for Youth has recognized more than 30 Manitoba youth for their volunteer contributions.
