Manitoba seeking feedback on new health card design
The Manitoba government is seeking the public’s feedback with a new survey on the design for the modernized health card.
Earlier in the month, Premier Wab Kinew posted on his Instagram asking for opinions on three draft designs, including an option with a bison, another with a polar bear and a third with the northern lights.

On Tuesday, Kinew said the design with the northern lights was the most popular option for social media users, but the province wants to ensure all Manitobans, including those not on social media, have their say.
Now, the Manitoba government has released on online survey where residents can vote for their favourite health card design. The survey is open until midnight on Sept. 29.

The province added that Manitobans can help to ensure a smooth transition to the new health card by reviewing their current card and ensuring all information is up to date.
