Prince George, B.C. - The ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk is back this year to help everyone 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 our community and win the grand prize, the City of Prince George needs as many people as possible to participate!
- Local organizations: Register your June physical activity programs, events and/or initiatives on the ParticipACTION website. Then, throughout June, track the number of people participating in them to help our community compete for the title of Canada’s Most Active Community.
- Individuals: Sign up on the ParticipACTION website and pledge to get active throughout June where you live, learn and/or work!
Join the City in the movement to build a stronger, healthier and more active community. To win the challenge, Prince George needs everyone to do their part and sign up.
