Alberta Blue Cross is looking for nominations for this years’ Faces of Wellness program.

“Everyone knows someone in their community who is a face of wellness, whether that’s making positive lifestyle changes toward becoming healthier, promoting a health-related cause, making the most of life while living with a chronic condition, advocating for wellness in their workplace, standing up for mental health or acting as a role model for others,” said Brian Geislinger, senior vice-president of corporate relations and community engagement with Alberta Blue Cross.

This is the fifth year of the program, which highlights the importance of wellness and aims to inspire others to take the first steps on similar journeys.

“We want to share these stories so, whether that’s you or someone you know, we urge you to apply,” said Geislinger. The deadline for applications has been extended to October 30.

Nominees will have a chance to win 1 of 11 amazing wellness-related prizes, including the grand prize of a weekend away in the Alberta Rockies. Nominations can be done via the Blue Cross website at facesofwellness.ca.
