In 2023, we created the Community Wellbeing grant program to celebrate our 75th anniversary and 75 years of community partnership. This program celebrated our province’s exceptional volunteers by giving out awards of $1,000 each, plus another $1,000 to the charity they volunteer with. We recently sat down with Corinna O’Hanley and Punch Jackson, 2 of the recipients of the Community Wellbeing grant. Here’s what they have to say about the benefits of volunteering.

For Alex Duica, volunteering is more than a hobby or pastime—it’s a part of who she is. “I volunteer because my life has greater meaning when I am putting my efforts towards something bigger than myself,” says Alex. “Volunteering is a way for me to live by my values and effect positive change in my community.”

At 25 years old, our 2023 Faces of Wellness finalist Andrea was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Instead of letting stigma hold her back, she saw an opportunity to support and educate those like her. She is now a passionate advocate for mental, emotional and physical health and wellness. In 2010, Andrea founded the Stigma-Free Society, a charity providing education around stigma and acceptance of mental wellbeing in schools and rural communities. Over the years, the program has expanded to multiple provinces, growing to include no-cost school programing. Learn more about Andrea's story: https://ow.ly/PQNj50SyVYr
