Deadline: 30-Jun-23
The Alberta Blue Cross is awarding Community Wellbeing Grants to people who are making a difference in the health and wellness of Albertans.
Whether that’s volunteering with a senior’s centre, an arts council or a children’s sports league, they want to invest in the people who invest in community.
They want to ensure that communities across Alberta have the resources they need to create healthy, vibrant lives—and that the people making that happen are properly recognized. That’s why they’re introducing a new program this year in recognition of the 75th anniversary. They want to celebrate the legacy of giving back to the communities they serve.
