Hélène Campbell is a champion of organ and tissue donation. Diagnosed with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis—a fatal lung disease—at only 20 years old, she underwent a double lung transplant that saved her life. Through her innovative social media campaigning, she has raised public awareness of the donor process, increased the number of registered donors, and fundraised to help patients on the organ transplant waiting list and their families.

Sharing a passion for dance and an interest in recreational programs for youth with special needs, Melissa Emblin, Marie-Élaine Patenaude and Luca "Lazylegz" Patuelli founded Project RAD (Réservé aux danseurs). This organization gives people with various disabilities an opportunity to take urban dance classes. They also train dance instructors, help existing dance studios become more accessible to special needs clientele, and deliver dance workshops in schools, youth centres and hospitals.

Dedicated to promoting a return to traditional Inuit foods, Rebecca Veevee is the host and chef of the popular Inuit TV cooking show “Niqitsiat”, which means "healthy cooking" in Inuktituk. Through her program, she has demonstrated a commitment to combatting a growing epidemic of diseases related to poor nutrition in northern communities.
