On February 6, we celebrated with the nominees for this past years Best of YEG Thrive Awards at the new Match Eatery & Public House in West Edmonton Mall. Over 175 people were in attendance as we announced the winners in 20 different wellness categories. This year the event was hosted by Carrie Doll with music provided by Girls Club DJ’s who kept guests entertained throughout the night.
