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.
Everyone in Canada should have access to quality sport and physical activity opportunities that help them grow and thrive—physically, emotionally and socially. No matter who you are, you should enjoy the many benefits of getting active – however you define it. Joining the Community Challenge and getting active with others in your community can be more fun, motivating and help create a sense of belonging.
There aren’t any set parameters on how intense or long each physical activity needs to be. From an afternoon office fit break to a weekend hockey practice, ParticipACTION wants participating organizations to track it all!
The ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk is proudly funded by the Government of Canada, Novo Nordisk, and supporting partner, Saputo.
