The four from Prince Rupert include:

Bethel First Baptist Church, for their Healthy Lifestyle Choices (HEAL for Your HEART)

Prince Rupert Library, for its Medical Health Collection ReBuild (HEAL for your HEART)

Prince Rupert Seniors Centre Association, for their Seniors Wellness Forum (HEAL for Your HEART)
