Sioux Lookout, ON – The ParticipACTION Community Challenge, presented by Novo Nordisk, returns this year to help people in Canada enjoy the many physical, social and mental health benefits of getting active together!
This national physical activity and sport initiative encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June, ultimately recognizing Canada’s Most Active Community and awarding it $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.
To help rally Sioux Lookout and win the grand prize this year, we need as many people as possible to participate! The Recreation Centre will be registering our physical activity and sport programs, events, and initiatives on ParticipACTION’s website. Then, throughout June, we will track the number of people participating in them to help our community compete for the title of Canada’s Most Active Community.
You can help out, even without taking part in Recreation Centre activities! Active groups of two or more people can sign up for the Challenge on ParticipACTION’s website and participate in physical activities together throughout June. Your selected group leader will then register and track your group’s June physical activities on the website. All of them will count toward our community’s total progress. Visit the ParticipACTION website to sign up!
