Alberta Blue Cross launches 2026 Faces of Wellness program

Sep 10, 2026 | 7:12 AM

An Alberta Blue Cross program is looking for Albertans who champion wellness.

This year’s edition of its Faces of Wellness program will give winners the chance to choose a charity to receive a donation, on top of the cash prize for each winner.

Whether it’s mental health, inclusive spaces, or supporting others through lived experience, many actions can make a difference, the organization says.

The grand prize is $2,500 plus a $1,000 donation.

“Last year we received almost 300 diverse nominations and applications from across the province for Faces of Wellness,” says Brian Geislinger, senior vice-president of Corporate Relations and Community Engagement with Alberta Blue Cross.

“Everyone knows someone who is a face of wellness, so this year we’re calling on all Albertans to nominate someone deserving of this recognition.”

The deadline to apply is Oct. 29, with recipients announced in January.
