• substance use and addictions, and
• tobacco reduction. 

“It is important to honour and acknowledge these youth, who are establishing a path to healthy living for all Manitobans to follow,” said Healthy Living and Seniors Minister Deanne Crothers.  “I would like to thank the recipients for their dedication and also their teachers and families for supporting them in their efforts.”

Each recipient was presented with a congratulatory letter from the premier, a medal and a $500 bursary.
