ParticipACTION Community Challenge
A Community That Moves Together, Grows Together
Each year, communities across Canada join the ParticipACTION Community Challenge — a nationwide initiative that encourages everyone to get active and celebrate the power of movement. It's about more than just fitness — it's about connection, inclusion, and community spirit.
Whether it's a walk in the park, a group fitness class, or a moment of movement during your day, every minute counts. The Community Challenge inspires residents of all ages and abilities to come together in support of healthier, more active lives.
Why We Participate:
-
To promote physical and mental well-being
-
To foster community pride and participation
-
To support an active, inclusive environment for everyone
-
To put our community on the map as one of Canada’s most active!
How it works:
Individuals: Individuals can participate by pledging to get active during the Challenge on the ParticipACTION website. By taking the pledge and providing their email address and postal code, their participation will count towards their assigned community’s score. The more individuals that sign-up within a community, the greater the community’s score. .
Organizations: Organizations can participate in the Challenge by registering on the ParticipACTION website. By providing the organization’s postal code as part of registration, their activities will count towards their assigned community’s score. During the Challenge period, organizations can record their activities and track the number of participants that take part in their activities. The more activities and participants tracked, the more it benefits their community’s score.
