In December 2018, Dr. Holly Bardutz received a significant grant to further her groundbreaking brain research in collaboration with Dr. Max Cynader, a renowned neuroscientist. This grant, generously provided by an anonymous donor, enabled the two experts to deepen their exploration of brain health and innovative research methodologies.

In April 2018, Dr. Holly Bardutz was honored with the prestigious Woman of Distinction Award in the category of Education and Mentorship, presented by YWCA Regina. This annual recognition celebrates women who make a profound impact on their communities through leadership, advocacy, and service.

In the 1980s, Holly Bardutz earned the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, symbolizing her commitment to growth, resilience, and community service.
