The ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk 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 Community 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 prize for the national winner, there will also be a prize for the most active community in each province and territory.
-
- One community in each of the remaining 12 provinces and territories will receive between $7,500 and $15,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.
- Throughout June, ParticipACTION will be recognizing and awarding organizations that are championing the challenge in their community. Follow us on social media to see which organizations win prizes!
The challenge will kick off on Saturday, June 1, 2024, which is also National Health and Fitness Day. Many YMCAs, recreation centres and gyms across the country will be offering free programming and opportunities to get active.
Individuals can participate in the challenge by signing up on the ParticipACTION website. By doing so, they are committing to getting active throughout June and contributing to their community’s score.
Communities, organizations, schools and workplaces can register any of their events or activities taking place during the challenge period (June 1 to 30, 2024) on the ParticipACTION website. After their events or activities take place, they can record how many participants took part in each. Every registered event or activity and every participant tracked will count towards their community’s progress in the challenge.
