City of Saskatoon joins the ParticipACTION Community Challenge

The City of Saskatoon has joined the ParticipACTION Community Challenge and is rallying for other local organizations and individuals to join in and make Saskatoon Canada’s Most Active Community.

ParticipACTION Community Challenge returns this year to help everyone enjoy the many physical, social and mental health benefits of getting active together!

The Community Challenge is a national physical activity and sport initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June in search of Canada’s Most Active Community. The challenge is open to all communities and individuals, ultimately recognizing Canada’s Most Active Community and awarding it with $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives. In addition to the national winner, there is also a prize for the most active community in each province and territory and weekly organization prizes to be awarded throughout June.

To help rally Saskatoon and win the grand prize this year, we need both local organizations and individuals to participate!

• Organizations: throughout June, sign up on the ParticipACTION website and track the types of activities and number of people getting active in your organization to help our community compete for the title.
• Individuals: Sign up on the ParticipACTION website and make a pledge to get active throughout June. Browse the website for different opportunities to help you move more where you live, learn and/or work.
