Voting open for Northern Health mascot

The public can now vote on who they would like to see as the first-ever Northern Health mascot.

Spokesperson Jonathon Dyck says they’ve narrowed it down to two characters.

“Rex, a blue bear, who is the ruler of our well-being, both medical, psychological, and spiritual; and Spirit, an adventurous caribou who rules exercising, eats well, makes the right choices for himself and his body. These two options are up for people to choose.”

Dyck says Northern Health will use their mascot as a way to reach out to the community, and better interact with children on healthy living.

You can vote online at blog.northernhealth.ca.
