"I think there is still a lot of people who hear the words 'psych ward'and they think 'crazy' and that's a horrible stigma that we have," Moffatt toldThe Morning Edition.

Nathan Elliott is the founder of an advertising company, AdFront,which uses office space to project advertisements. The Regina-based company is pursuingpartnership deals with 140 different countries across the world.

Elliott said the idea for advertisements using projection mapping came to him while he was waiting at a stoplight.

"We thought, 'We use glass and we put film onto glassso why don't we turn it into a voluminous model where by we sell ads and put cool content onto these spaces?'" Elliott said.

Thomas Benjoe is the CEO of File Hills Qu'Appelle Development. Benjoesees many opportunities for business development in the mining, oil and gas industries.

"Any time the market is down, it's an opportunity to buy in," Benjoe said.

Those are just some of the partnerships FHQ is looking at, but they are also looking at the renewable energy sector such as solar, wind and hydro.

"We want to make sure that we help become stewards of the land as well and control some of those interests in renewable energy," Benjoe said.

Chasityand Jordynn Delorme are two Future 40 winners.

Jordynn won the Bright Light award for inspiring people under age 18 last year when she was 17yearsold. At the same time, her mother Chasitywas also named a Future 40 winner for her work as a community leader.

Chasity's mother and Jordynn's grandmother played a big role in Chasity's community work.

"She definitely was my motivation behind the work I do in the community," Chasity said.

"I know that everything that I've done in the community, my grandma was very proud of," Jordynn said.

Jordynn's grandmother had been battling cancer. Between the time Chasity was nominated to her award, her mother died.
